You never listen do you, Matt and I both told you ATI, he just said it again, and now you just say your going with a Coan. I guess 1.29 60fts don't mean anything on nuts.

I love how all these other people can help you out and know more, it's sad that my daily driven bolt on 4l60e car will blow the *** out of your 383 gutted fab 9in car any day of the week and yet you still won't listen. I'm done trying to help you. And Speed Inc is a ATI dealer.

I'm done helping as well. When you guys want to go fast, come see Bill and I. We are no longer offering our services for free though. It is a waste of our time when we tell you how to go fast and you do not listen.

i never said that you were wrong and never said that i did not want to take you opinion. i apperate it alot and i do listen to what you have to say.i am still leaning towards the ati converter.

sorry if i pissed you off!!!! if you are mad thats cool i was just getting an opinion from other people. not saying that the people i know well know more then you about ls1s but they have been racing and building motors longer then you. alot that is what they do for a living.

Well you haven't had 50 pm's and countless phone calls asking you repeatedly how to build your car only to end up doing the exact opposite. So when you deal with that let me see how you take it.

sorry bill i did not mean to **** you or matt off. the only thing that i did against what you said was the converter! and my car is not gutted, it is still on the street. the only thing that i really got rid of was the a/c system.

Cliff: I'm not mad at you or anyone. Ask anyone on here, I love giving advice to people and having them come back and say "Hey, thanks for the advice. The car is going X.XX @ XXX.XX and everyone wants to know how I am so fast. But when you spend a lot of time helping someone day in and day out, and then they do the opposite and are wondering why they are so slow, you would be saying "Why the **** did I even waste my time."
