If there is nothing wrong with paying someone to build a car/motor, why do you guys take such issue with the fact that Mike paid DonF to build his motor?

But beyond that, Mike didn't just hand Don a check and say "build me a motor," and then pick it up when it was done. Mike did his research, picked out his parts, delivered them to Don, had lengthy conversations with Don about the various technical considerations that went into his motor. He was very much involved in what went into his motor.

The real issue is, Mike is right about pretty much everything he's said in this thread, and the best argument anyone can come up with to disprove him is "you didn't build your b-series!" L O L.

To date:

There are no verified 250whp b-series motors in GA.
There are no verified 280whp h-series motors in GA.
There are no verified 300+whp k-series motors in GA.

It really doesn't matter what cars have put down on the dyno in NY, Cali, Florida, or wherever else everyone in this thread is talking about. Mike specifically said IN GEORGIA. Just because you can jump 10ft in the air on the moon doesn't mean you can do it here on earth. Like it or not, the conditions here in GA are different from NY. The temperature is different, more humidity, even the gas you get at the pump is different.

The other point that makes me laugh. . .

Just because you are SUPPOSED to make 20 more whp with a set of cams, does not guarantee that you will.
Just because you bolt on a head that flows 100CFM more, does not guarantee that you will make more power.
JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK YOUR COLLECTION OF PARTS WILL MAKE XXXwhp DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL!

People sit around talking about how it's so easy to make a 300+ whp k-series, or 280whp h-series. If it was that easy, don't you think the streets of Atlanta would be crawling with big HP builds?

So keep filling up the tank on your rice mobiles with your 300whp hopes & dreams while you struggle to pull on cars with way less HP, more weight, and bought engines.
