Man some of you guys must have had a bad day.. its almost over

Anyway thanks everyone for the compliments,much appreciated.

Jeremy he spun the crank up today, found it was "out of phase" which meant that the crank was out of balance on the same side, front and back. If it were out of balance on opposite sides of the crank it would have counteracted each other. But he got that taken care of, he's going to try removing 8-9 grams off the big end of each rod, and once thats done, thursday he is going to respin it on the machine and see how close it is to balanced.. If so, hope i can get it thursday night or friday. Injectors, chip etc should be here friday.

You damn right! THE best for the best, huh.

GOOD to here! I was just making sure you weren't relying on the paint to keep the rods in there. You've made a fine choice young man!

Well, you seem to be swapping tuning and I haven't a clue what you are going with. Therefore, interested to find out.
