Default Going on my 3rd motor

Hey guys.... I know I've been away from the scene for a while. I'm working on starting up another business right now, which has taken up most of my time, and it seems like I'm out of town almost every weekend. I'm not gonna make it to Chili's tonight... but hopefully I'll make it out next week. Found out that I was leaking coolant from 2 cylinders and now my motor is shot. I have the choice of putting in another stock bottom or sending mine off to get rebuilt.... so my block is going to be on its way to Laskey Racing next week to be completely built. Then I'll be taking it down to Mase again to have it tuned for some REAL power :-)

See you guys soon

I was thinking along the lines of 700whp would be good.

We don't think so, looks like the Hondata intake gasket started leaking. They're not gonna get around to pulling the motor out of the car till Tuesday, and hopefully I'll know more then. I was going to build the motor anyway... just not till winter when I wasn't planning on driving it anyway, and after I was finished getting my new business going. Timing sucks, but I have an excuse to get it done now.

The only thing that really sucks is I just drove down to Jacksonville and had my car re-tuned not even two months ago. That was kind of a waste, since I have to tune it again now anyway.
