You are making this something that it is not.. I knew that was gonna happen.. I give to good causes every chance I get and I go out of my way to help the less fortunate ANY and EVERY time I can. I was just giving my opinion.. Nothing more.

btw, I just watched a vid that TUFF sent me of his old setup when I was talkin with him about buying his old forged 346 longblock. He is definately a good guy with a kick *** car.. But I was only stating my opinion. Don't make it out to be something that it was not..

If he were local I would have no problem with giving him a hand turning some wrenches and what not. I have friends that help me turn wrenches or borrow tools or space in their garages, but I dont want their money. Not saying that he does either.

I wish him luck and I'm sure he will get it going again.. I myself don't make **** for money and I have to scrape every penny I earn just to build my current setup. I've got about $2k more to spend before it is done and I can say I bought it all myself with my own money. If it blows up when I crank it then I will just have to bite the bullet and start over.. But thats not gonna happen!!!

My apologies.. But all bullshit aside, I hope he gets her up and running and kicking *** again. Best of luck to you guys. I know how bad it sucks to be down when everyone else is up and racing.

The brackets work mint! THANKS!! I'm a little worried about the injector orings sealing under boost. I dropped it off today for the boost controller and the final dyno tune. It should be done tomorrow!! Mike said he wants to go out Saturday night cruising. I'll throw the other seat in it and go cause some trouble.

While that's all beautiful and all, why don't you sell your car, get a $1000 eco-friendly car that saves trees, and donate the rest to a charity? just a thought...

such a funny guy.. I was just trying to prove a point cause there was some people acting like it was the end of the world when we all know things could be alot worse and are for some people.

Yea, I know. My statement was meant sarcastically, but didn't come out right. There are tree-huggers in my line of profession, so it gets to me with the whole "starving kids in Zimbabwa" statements i hear so many times. My thoughts are help those around you first, and it will filter outwards. I had $20 in my paypal account that i wasn't using, and right now, TUFF needs it more than me.

It's all good!

Its been a while since I've posted here so I don't quite feel right posting my 2 cents on this, but I will do it anyway.

I hope Tuff gets up and rolling very shortly. It sounds like racing is a hobby he truely loves - even moreso than most of us I'm sure.

I think what 1QuickTA was just trying to point out is that we are talking about a guy that could afford a $5000+ shortblock here. Maybe he was "all in" on his car and blowing the short leaves him with nothing to fall back on. If so, I still must point out that he could afford such an amazing set up in the first place. I think 1QuickTA is just thinking the same way I am. I'm glad to see that you guys are so willing to help a buddy, but to put things in perspective I'm deploying soon and honestly have not been issued all the gear I need to insure that I can perform to 100% potential "out there," but I don't want any friends posting about how bad its been for me and asking for donations to help buy it because: 1) I woke up today 2) I was able to fill my stomach with good food 3) I had some A/C blowing in the house 4) My family and friends all love and care for me 5) I have a nice bed to sleep in tonight.

With that said, I sure hope Tuff gets it up and running - I really, really do. I'm sure it has to be heartbreaking, but even my little bit experience in turning wrenches and going "fast" has taught me that sometimes when you turn that key or press that pedal that you have to be prepared for a smile to be plastered on your face or your heart be broken by a pop and a "crunch."

OK, thanks for the rhetoric you two. Now are you guys gonna throw 5 bucks in Tuff's direction? If not, then please stop pointing out the obvious and send a donation to your favorite charity.

Have a nice day.

tbojbob
