As some of you know I finished the blower in my car last year. It made good power then started smoking like a train. So this year I haven't touched it and focused my attention on my other car. Well like a hooker to coke, I can't stay away from Dez's shop. And I have been in quite a few fast cars over the past 3 weeks. In fact I went for a ride in a 730 rwhp conv. today! So I dont know what to do now. I have a separate business venture starting next month so I can't see blowing tons of money on the car again. But then I hate seeing it sit in the garage broken after blowing all that money last year. I just don't know what to do. What do you guys think?

send it to Dez and have him find the smoking issue. better than you ripping the car apart and maybe replacing unnecessary parts. that way itll be fixed and you can enjoy it

the chevelle is finished. I would like more power for it but it's finished. And the mustang need a set of pistons. I am 99% positive of that. And I wanted to lower the compression anyways and put the new cams in.

I'm sorry you are torn Tom, I'm trying to get rid of my bike so i can buy a stang....... without nelson to ride with and my drive to work i dont ever ride the thing anymore>
If you run by anything at dez let me know.......
I say fix it..... but with the baby and new business venture it could be a little rough

Yeah I am pricing out some shit now, man this sucks! I think I am just going to do it. I was like 50/50 last night. I am 60/40 in favor if doing it today. It just sucks to throw another 5-7k at this again this year. And I still need paint!

Actually there just might be a hellion kit in my future. It depends what my friend does with his set-up. But I did get some good news from Comp Cams yesterday, They said my cams would work well in a turbo application. I was told they wouldn't. So now I think I am going to get it going. I was afraid to do all the head work and put the cams in just to have to do it again once I go turbo. But I should see 600 RWHP the way my car sits now. It put down 550 with a hurt motor and stock cams.

Yeah I hear that! But that's down the road. I will have to stick with the procharger for now at least.
