Well i never really even got to drive the piece. Between the problems and other stuff i have learned a lot through this motor. The car has a few problems but im selling it to a guy who works up at finish line motorsports so after they fix the freeze plug and get it tuned look for someone on here to post up some dyno charts with 300+ whp. Im gonna miss it but my new s13 vert will have its own share of power . Thanks for all your help on this motor because without you guys.. .well i would still be looking at it on my engine stand in the garage . Im gonna take some pics and post up what it looks like before it goes.

Oh hell yes. The vert is going to get done right. I learned a lot about half assing and taking things one step at a time. I put together a 300+ hp setup and never got it all to work right because i couldnt locate the problems. BUT... next time im either going ka-t or rb25. Either way im going to make the car function perfectly and take it one step at a time.
