Default Blown Motor, New Beginnings

I don't know if it was just a momentary lapse in judgement, or the fact that all domestic drivers in KY are pricks and deserve to be put in their place, but I found myself lined side by side with a v6 mustang on I-75 rolling about 50. He downshifts, as do I, and I proceed to put 5 cars on him up to 90 (that's right, next gear was 4th...) only it didn't go into 4th, it went into 2nd, and revved to about 14k. Only other time I had ever misshifted was in my 88 accord when I was 16... I immediately depressed the clutch, shifted to 4th, and continued to pull on him when I lost power, pulled over to the side of I-75, and watched the mustang driver laugh as he passed. I knew exactly what I had done, and kicked myself in the ass as I called the tow truck.

I'm not to sure about Brian Crower but I will say the Inline Pro kits seem to be phenomenal.

it would probably be for the best to contact hi-tech and see about some one off cams and a header.

Forgot to mention the block has been resleeved and bored to the 90mm the kit requires.

Is anyone else running Brian Crower parts? I know the Stage 2 cams were a flop on the FI setup, hoping to get better luck on the stage 3 cams.
