From a personal perspective it's best to just ignore the gallery of folks saying things and know that you are doing the best you can do. Things go wrong for everyone and if they never go wrong, then what can you learn? You're on a steep learning curve and it will all settle down eventually and perform like it should.

This stuff ain't easy at the level you're trying to play. That's why it's such a small community in the n/a world.

It would be nice to see fellow engine builders, and or racers that when something goes wrong, instead of degrading, they are offering encouragement, advice, etc...

There are some builders and racers like that and it's who I tend to gravitate towards. And I can take note of that as well to remind myself to do that.....

Chin up and get er done!!! I got a little fixin' to do myself....
Well said Chris, couldn't agree more.

Mike, the other thread that I stupidly got involved in, did not mention you as one of the fast cars, I was looking at it as power adder cars.
What you have done N/A is wicked impressive. I think the most impressive. I could not do what you have done even if I had money. Knowledge and testing you did is awsome. I wrench my own car but had to add a turbo to get it to a "fun" level. All the head thread b.s. aside, an old Ehead heading to the sevens N/A is crazy cool and a huge accomplishment. When I hit lotto, I'll ask you who is helping you so I can go that fast too! After you run the 7 post the dyno # please. Good Luck.

You need to impress that on most of the people who follow the OP of this thread?

That's funny, you say some ignorant chit yourself.
