Wtf dude. Chill out. It's like every time I make a comment you continue to think its always negative or some kind of a personal dig. It was just humor. Chit we all need those engines. I never mentioned or insinuated in anyway you cut corners. You must have a lot of negativity and low vibration. It's no wonder you have had issues. Think positive and be happy. Seriously you sound miserable. I among several others here have a ton of stuff going on in life and under constant pressure and problem solving but I continue to always be optimistic and stay positive. You really have to relax.

I think once you get with the right builder, or get them sorted out, you'll like the way they run.

Aside from that, the big power N/A engines are bad azz.
Fully agree. I can't start over at this point. Too much $$$ tied up into what I already have. And I'm not scared of the Blowers, I had hardware problems, not rigging, tuning or packaging issues. Engines run great when they run. We'll get it figured out.

I was curious who was running these, because he has been around a long time but I never hear of marine guys running his stuff. I like the idea of big power without the blowers, one less thing to maintain and plumb.

If I could start over, I would do a lot of things differently......

Add to cart, Kevin! - 925 N/A sounds about right!

As someone like Frickstyle can tell you who knows me personally, I am actually a very positive and happy person... I am just very used to defending myself when things went bad last year, it's fine I'm over it, just got real used to some people taking stabs at me and I am a person that stands up for myself good or bad. I don't hold grudges or keep hard feelings just seemed like a stab at me.

Just to set the record straight my post meant nothing to do with your builds or parts used what so ever. To be honest I thought you used all good parts from what you listed (other than intakes, hah) but you fixed that.
I meant it in a way where I could have used anyone's name there. Especially endeavour32 cause he's gonna need a couple but anyway I did go back and read my original post and I could see where you could have taken it the way you did. Just two sentences that really had nothing to do with each other... Seriously.

This chit gets any worse were gonna have a north vs south all over again. We'll have boats t-boning each other and all kinds of stupid chit. Take your pizz on sail boat flags off and fly the confederate so we can see you coming. Lol.

I'm beginning to think that this entire forum cannot have "an engine thread" without it turning in to an all out Charlie Foxtrot.
