Me, Trey and Greg started this chapter. It was one of the biggest clubs on the East Coast, and had almost a whole Super Street Mag devoted to us. The bottom line is, I've been around.
Put the other bullsh!t aside from the other thread and PMs. Here is what you are missing. We have been around longer and have dealt with more places and BS than you have and we know who's got what and what is good for the most part. No one knows everything. So you got an engine for dirt ass cheap that was awesome. Great. The point that Mr. Kidd is trying to make is while you may luck up once in a blue moon, you can't get a steak dinner for Taco Bell prices (my phrase damnit, not his). Say you get an engine from a supplier that is dirt ass cheap (like you say), you think that is going to be consistant? Absolutely not. For people that sell engines cheap, it is a crap shoot. If half of the engines they get are good they are happy. You want to take the chance of getting one of the "good ones?" The odds aren't in your favor. You are trying to jump into a field WAY too prematurely.
