We're not allowed to work more than 8 a day right now. It's taking a chunk out of my checks. So no fun stuff for awhile.

I’m salary so no one cares, 55hrs minimum and anything over is just being a good employee. Money is good so I can’t complain but definitely no extra money for extra effort.

Local Ford guys are calling ls engines, "welfare rat" engines, is this how you Ford guys feel? They might just be starting a Facebook fight cause they're bored.

LOL! come on, thats funny. We always talk about how cheap the jy motors are... and (years ago) I was asked if I bought my h/c package at walmart. Theyre common/cheap enough, its appropriate.

They jelly because it costs alot to make a furd go because their engines suck. Anything furd ever made that actually ran was stupid expensive compared to the gm counterparts and a low volume piece.

I don't really care what people do to their cars for engine and ****. When we line up, you are either faster or you ain't.

PS. The JY LS guys are always talking price...so they likely bring these names upon themselves.

I guess so, but the guys they were talking to don't have jy engines, hell my friend has over 20k in his twin turbo ls engine. Then the one Ford guy called him a bully for wanting to race.

For every one mustang owner with that attitude there's 50 doing ricer flyby's in a clapped out 2V with blowmasters. Most graduated to Focus ST's around here. Finally get to go back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks. Stay healthy 'tech. I still need the entertainment.

As the owner of a S550 GT and 89 Fox with a 4.8 in it, that sounds like something poor people would argue about.

If you’re not getting paid to give a **** about someone’s opinion, then who cares.

Considering I know more people with LS powered fast fords than I do Ford powered fast Fords.....thats kind of funny.


Personally, I couldn't give an F less about how much I have in my car vs the next guy. I did the dump a ton of money into brand new name parts trick once. Im over it.

On another note....Im a little sad that my wife's Infiniti makes more power with a $600 tuner than my full bolt on, cammed, 30psi on E83 Evo did.
