Well, I don't know if you want to call it a break but....
I sold a perfectly good motor at Desert Storm and bought a long block that same weekend. Decided I wanted more HP. So since May 1st I have been building this motor and every time we think we have her done something else pops up. Right now we have an issue with the EFI wire harness to the blowers. Hopefully this is the last fix of a long list of delays... Needless to say, I borrowed a buddy's boat all summer. Thank God for great friends. But I will never do this again. Especially since we are in the 1050+hp club now. I just hope this motor is as dependable as the last one is.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and smokin, shouting "Holy Shit ...What A Ride!"

I'm running the ROOTZ system...Dustin did my wiring Harness...only issues I'm having now is my air cleaner spacers..but that will get hammered out over the winter..boat is going back to Dustin so we can finish/change a few things..
This year my engine spent more time on the stand then it did in the boat!! Trashed 3 sets of main bearings in a new build before we figured out the guy that balanced the rotating assembly is not very good at math. Lol
I had to replace a fender on my trailer after my buddy clipped someone parking the trailer. He felt bad and paid for the damage to the truck he clipped and my fender, plus all of the drinks at the Springs that day! So we're still friends
