  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    don't be a aircraft r&d machinist. leads to never ending projects like this one. always trying to improve. advice is to stay stock and never have issues.

    do you know what mfg r&d stands for ........ Make a F'ing Guess, Run & Disappear.

    I love that one, oddly enough never heard it before. D'ya suppose that was one of those behind the back snickers we were always almost hearing? I just knew we had something in common. I'll second your advice. (pretty obvious I haven't been able to follow it, but I DO have an "almost" stock 300...)

    jim,
    doing the 2xv6 altered has its issues. my wife says just 1 v6 is good. no way. i say being r&d, failure is not an option. we kept going until it was right to go.
    i will keep throwing 'rocks' at it until i get it right. AND then we have the 350 with all the quirks from doing what it wasn't designed to do.
    now imagine if i didn't do all this weird stuff. :D
