                        +1 to Cone engineering!

                        Rich helped me get all the parts for a full system for my motorcycle. The results were amazing!

                          but... but... but... I realize how cool this is. I realize it's awesome to unleash the potential of the mighty B3... BUT You are doing all of this work, which I'm assuming is NOT cheap to reach the numbers that a BP can hit stock? That a B6T can hit with a little tuning? It's my remembering all the promises that "Eye_of_Ra93" had that is giving me a thought process that leads me to think "Why take the long, expensive way, when others have already gotten these numbers for less work and cost?"

                            Has this not been hammered away at enough on this site? I feel like this has come up in like 3 different threads..

                            Sure you can go the easy cheap way...and most of us probably would. But some people like to be different. Does it really need to be hashed out again? Some people like coffee others like tea...some people don't like either. Just enjoy what you see in here!

                              Well there is a few reason for doing it this way. First of all its fun and when I beat somebody with a larger motor it puts a smile on my face. Second, this motor is way lighter then those other motors and weight is one of the major advantages with our little cars... We want to keep them light not make them heavier. Third, n you go buy a junk yard motor that has ? How many miles and what kind of abuse.... How long do you really think that motor will last?

                              Now as far as hp with those stock motors you are saying that they have more hp then I'm gonna have that's not really true. The hp ratings on those motors that you guys have are stock ratings and that is to the crank... Not to the wheels. I will say this though the larger motors do have more potential when built but you are going to spend a lot of money also. And I'm not really spending that much. My buddy built a 24r for his Toyota rock crawler and spent almost as much as I am and he bought a head that was only mildly built... I have a full custom race built head. On other motors you would end up spending way more then I have.

                              Matt dickmeyer is offering amazing products that will produce amazing numbers for a really good price being that it's all built by hand by him... You can't ask for a better price.

                              Also he produced 266 hp to the wheels on 8 psi of boost... Let's see your stock bp do that.

                                Good example would be when you blow down the drag and have an amazing 1/4 Mike time and on the way back peoe ask you what do you have in that thing?... And then you reply its just the stock motor a 1.3...
