Poor guy spends a ton of time just wasting parts. Seems like Gen 3 problems all around, Gen 4 stuff wouldn't have cared about that power level in the first place. Should have done that from the beginning instead of wasting 40+ hours on a junk gen 3 with stock gaskets. I also wouldn't have given the gen3 25PSI, that was just beggin for it to blowup and he got what he wanted. But I guess he gives the people what they want to see, people apparently like watching engines blowup.
As far as driving cars, its not out of the ordinary for me to drive 4+ cars during a track day. I jump from a manual car to a 6L80 to a TH400, etc just takes paying attention to what your doing.
I agree on the gen III stuff, but Matt ENJOYS proving to others junk can go fast. In part he is the guy who showed us that a 4.8 and a 5.3 can be respected.
If your used to going from car to car I can agree,when your used to one car and then get stuck into something you've never say in, wrenched on or looked at it's at least un-nerving at best (at least for me). Hell for all you know maybe the lug nuts are all loose. At that point, your basically trusting your life on someone's word.......right, and probably knowing the gen III will give up the ghost on your run.
