Whatever I've done has always been about spending as little as possible. Everyone says how I must have spent a fortune for LT4 Lingenfelter heads. Not true. LPE was wanting to get rid of them in favor of R&D for the LS1 when it debuted. I got them at their cost. Regardless, I am happy with the results for what was done past and present. Pity you cannot accept that. As far as "poor performance" is concerned I am not sure where your validity is? You bought a used e-bay block. Shortly thereafter it broke and was never fixed, never a straight answer as to what went wrong and continue to post as if it's still running. Yeah, I'm ready to be judged.
Personal attacks again.......... You should have been banned years ago for this crap. Then you'll go make a few normal posts in other thread to justify it.

"Whatever I've done has always been about spending as little as possible", LMAO, yeah right. Fully forged 396 shortblocks aren't cheap, mr frugal. You put your life savings into the shortblock and ran out of money for the top end. If you wanted power by spending as little as possible, you would have done a heads/cam setup, not a stroker shortblock. Who do you think you are kidding? You pieced it together with some tiny camshaft and it went out and ran mid 12's. Then you had to do something, so you swapped in a solid roller cam.

Then you bring my car into this as a comparison, lol. Yeah the car that ran 1.2 seconds faster than you, 11 mph higher, and raced at the LTX Shootout in 2011 and 2012. What exactly has your car accomplished? Nada. I have no plans to fix this car anytime soon. I have no desire to head to another LTX shootout, and that's really the only home for my car. I have a brand new Camaro 1LE sitting here, you already know that. I've never been a big fan of the 4th gen platform. I know it's hard for you to understand since it's the only thing you know. Once you wrench on other things you'll realize this.

How can you function when your feelings are this hurt? Choosing to get involved in this thread and then whining about it? The dumbness is baffling.
As far as the block goes, if only you would have done the research for your paperweight instead of buying the first pile off e-bay you could find. Your turd went faster? You don't say. It was a crap engine that barely lasted a year on a chassis that weighed less than a Geo and could barely be driven on the street without rattling your skull. Real impressive. Fixing that pile? You'll never fix it because the cost clearly does not justify the means. Tell you what, after I rebuild mine I have about fifty dollars left in savings. Say I buy it from you. You supply the gas money and trailer to bring it on down so I can set it on fire. Deal? It'd be a lot easier to deal with getting rid of it that way than to watch it become the already hazardous, festering rats nest. You don't like 4th gens? It's obvious they don't like you either.
Congrats on buying a new car all by yourself. With the history you've had on modding, do yourself a favor and find someone else to wrench on it. Since you are of baller status I'm sure you'll be able to find yourself a good lawyer that knows SEMA regulations so you can freely mod while the car is still under warranty, high roller!

Nope, the turd is still sitting on a stand bagged. Motor is done, just needs computer and fuel. Meh.
