In time lol as I impatiently hover over online checkout buttons every night holding back.
Thanks for the complements. One thing I learned, going to fast and not knowing what needed done, changes. what works together and what can't work if something else. I made some costly mistakes along the way, I chalked it up to the cost of "education" I wish you the best road forward and good luck with your build.

Our build threads are good reads, Gabe jump right in and pulled his motor and went all the way (what I should have done too knowing seeing where I ended up). I went the 3 different phases of bolt ones, just to do a 4th phase where I changed most all of it ! I had great power increases each step I made, so it was worth it to me as it helped me realize if I was at a level in power that was good and I could stop there and be happy. Nope, Joshinator99, radz28, RobZL1, ZLRob, and SOCAL.M6.ZLE were ALL BAD INFLUENCES on me. So I went all the way with phase 4! and I'm gald I did !
