I think most folks have fantasized about a roots blown hemi or 440 making seven or eight hundred horses. Here's a guy going way above and beyond that, and letting us all in on the process, including rising like a phoenix from the ashes of a fire badder than ever. It's kinda disappointing to not get to see the car travel the country whoopin butt. Just a few nasty youtube videos. I don't know the whole story, nor is it really any of my business I guess. I will say I often enjoy making stuff almost more than using it and I enjoyed following the blown dart posts. I like hearing any motor run and I respect anyone who turns a wrench on any brand, but it seems kinda funny parting out that motor to make winning GM products.
