My only point to this thread was that from a marketing standpoint we all know this engine program is gonna choke.

I can also put a 10k paint job on a Geo metro. And I get a nice paint job. But what's the point?




Point taken.
But it was still a good read......thanks to a couple you youse guys for " factory direct " insights.
I have the new Competition Products catalog in my reading room and noticed a " claimed " 440 horse 408 for just south of 7 k in there.
I bet it has parts in it that come from a place I try not to buy parts from though........I would bet the house on that.
I can see the value of the factory offerings........the quality or parts and build is beyond what you'll get in 99.9837521 % of the others.
So it is pricey , but you do get what you pay for.
