In that case there is a 700hp Nascar truck engine on WSalem craigslist! Cost the guy 46,000$ but for you today 12,600$ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Tired of the same ole same ole... heard enough nascar engines to not want one... I want to be different. I like the challenge of the unknown... and think the sound will set it apart from all the others. May just go Kurplunk Boom... but I think positive and think it will be awesome you like "whir woosh whistle poohf "? that what turbos sound like ... not much ratta ratta rumble rumble... just sayin' |
