Message	This is Nothing against Any forum sponsor or their work, just my thoughts in general. But as much as i want to do a minor build-up, i'm having trouble convincing myself that the motor is going to last, or for that matter, function properly upon install. But on the other hand, i dont want to waste nearly the same amount on a stock motor and not have improved any performance aspect of it. I think from hearing so many builds go bad, i'm paranoid i'm going to just be wasting my money. Anyone else know what i'm talking about, or is it just me?

For instance, if Pac-man affected kids born in the eighties, we should by now have a bunch of teenagers who run around in darkened rooms and eat pills while listening to monotonous electronic music.
