Well I'll be honest with ya, I'm not on a budget but I like to push the limits for budget minded people just because I never believed I'd make the money I do now, now with that in mind just sit back and watch parts get ripped to shreads an get replaced with better ones

Didn't realise he was on a 10 bolt running that fast. He has blown a few up too though hasn't he? If I remember 2 at least?

Everyone has a budget and if you are about to exeed that budget then you are "broke" for the project atleast.

Why aren't you getting true front runners? Maybe I missed it in the thread.
