If all you care about is the end result and not the journey then sure, go crazy, but not everyone shares the same mentality. But can you really call yourself a car enthusiast at that point?
Sounds like he might be pulling a Rusty. I hope he is not married or has kids. He may be shown the door. LMAO!!!! Reality is he is short on money to do a proper build. I get it. I have done it myself way too many times. This is the first build I have let someone else do. Why, because I didn't have too. You just showed your true colors with that last statement.

Hope not. I lost count on the number of motors I built and blown up. I really don't want to think about it.

So according to your own posts, you're actually not a car enthusiast?

None of you deserve ****. Guess it's time to join everyone else and keep the issues and solutions of a high powered vq build a secret. I'll see if a moderator is willing to delete this topic.
VQ development is **** because kids are into the platform and all the big bank accounts went to the GTR. Vinny Ten ran a 8.83 woth a DE block like 8 years ago, mazworx ran 7’s I believe. The R&D for a big power blower build isn’t there. Not many VQ owners are willing to drop 50-75k into these cars when you have the GtR to go fast in a straight line and in corners. There is a guy in south Florida who made 900whp with his De and he built it himself and tuned the car on a haltech stand-alone. I can put you in contact with him, just pm me he might be a huge help with any questions you have.

Tim right? He has been very helpful. Thank you though. This build was actually roughly based on what he had done, just hopefully taken to a bit higher level.

But yeah I think I'll just leave this thread be now, no point. Tired of people, I have better **** to do.

Further the VQ platform? That's a joke. You and your buddy are the reason it sucks so bad. Keep it a secret. LOL, everything is in my thread you refuse to read. Can you read? You act like we don't work on our own cars and that the DrBacon god has spoken. You and your buddy are saving the VQ. Please melt down some more. This is fun to watch. Go ahead, let's see some more.
