Do I care? NO, I am building another engine and rep-lacing HG's is not a big deal.
Was it an experiement? Yes, to see if the filler made any difference using the weakest parts in my posession.
Did I tell anyone else this a good IDea to to do with their own car? NO, What I do to my car is my biz.
Were my ARP studs in my posession yet? NO, If they were I would have used them with the widefire.


I'd say it was a success. I once again took it out for a 2 hr drive this morning and ran the crap out of it to see how it went. Again no coolant overflow.

I even turned up the boost a little bit. To around 19psi. Again this is with 11.:1 compression. The MAF reading show about 45# per minute

I think a lot gets lost in my postings about why I do things.

One other thing to note is that since I have owned this car it has not been off the road for more than a week or so. so truly I enjoy it regularly and I don't drive it nicely!!!

There are a lot of intelligent people posting in this thread alone, and I am glad to be able to spark any intelligent conversation. I am always willing to learn. However, I am also willing to test things out on my own dime.

I personally don't think that me doing something different to _MY CAR_ merits throwing around an insult such as stupidity. I do my best to reserve judgement on others ideas and choices. I also speak in the same manor that I would as if they were standing right in front of me. I really doubt anyone here would call anyones ideas stupid directly to their face. But here we have the internet ,and internet kahones.....

Speaking of which...

Ahh Forget it... Age has taught me a few things.......... Have a good day ..I know I am..... ripping around in my hoopty
