Thats funny Andy. I look at it like this. If I treat it like a business and run it like a business....Its a business. Makes it easier for me to keep track of funds going out and in you know? Tight budgets around here these days. Only 4 1/2 months before the 1st round of the 08-09 season and I want to be able to get at least 2 testing sessions in with all the upgrades before that happens. So I really only have about 2 months to get the car together, get all the finances in order and get to the track.

I just don't think I want to run the nt block anymore with out the squirters so I'll probably just go to the full turbo block to help keep the piston skirts cool either way.
I literally put this current motor together 3 years ago for $250 in bearings, gaskets, and seals along with some parts I had laying around at the time. Can't complain that it's still running 15,000 miles and 3 years later as it certainly wasn't babied and was even daily driven for like 6 months last year.

Not bad at all Kyle. $250 for 3 years of run time is pretty damn good if you ask me. Yeah, you may be better off in the long run going ahead and switching to the turbo block now that you will have time to do it. Keep us posted man.
