I salute the dude. I would say "cut him some serious slack". Although I also laughed my a$$ off, I very much salute his efforts and enthusiasm. Did you notice how the guys on the boards were at first amused, then very encouraging? The guy was very innovative and resouceful. With an HO block, he might have pulled it off.

5ive-oh, you da man!


I agree with Jim 100%, not only did it take guts to try, it took serious stones to take pictures and post them...

My hats off to the dude!

Wow... not too sure about that carb hat... but these home grown setups can make serious power on the cheap (at least while they hold together).

And this reminds me of this guy who did it for 900 bucks and actually got some ink for it:
