Nice !

Cj are the main caps on the engine splayed ? i could not tell by the picture . Or do they have a side bolt from the outside of the block like Audi uses on their 2.0L ?

What are your plans for the Variable Valve timing mechanism , do you plan on using it or removing it ( if possible ) ?

Keep us updated.

Sadly, that's one reason why it takes a while for multiple cars to get up there, because everyone who does this kind of stuff is secretive. That being said, everyone understands too. heh (or at least they should understand why)

You ever find your time slip?

I dont understand why slay does not put out more info honestly. Who cares if everyone else knows how the engines built or what it can or can not take. I dont get the point of being so secretive about it. Hes going to build a insane car why not help the community out and share more info. Just how I see things...

tell that to Bill Gates , Rockefeller, and Warren Buffett. When you are trying to be the best at something you don't putt all your eggs in one basket , and you sure *** hell show all your cards. This is his build he is free to disclose what he wants.You should be more greatefull that he is taking this big leap.We all know its going to be BIG $$$ when you are the first one to try something. Why don't you go out and R&D for the community ?

Thats just how i see it .....

I think you took that the wrong way man. I am not saying I am not excited about the project or that someone is doing it. As you can see from my previous post I 100% am. I dont think slay is going to try and make money off of this so you cant really compare it to any of the men you listed above. I was just saying that I dont understand the point of not sharing info that could help some people. Im not being particular to slay (people all over in the car community do it) I just don't understand the concept of not sharing info when sharing it is not really going to give you an advantage in some way.

Wow zapa your definitely not a business man. If your investing the time, r&d and cash you have every right to do how you please. Shop and owner so relax on that. This is a year + build.

Ill explain the method to my madness.

1. The main reason is business. You have to understand that im putting enough money into the development of this car to require some sort of protection on my investment. There is a strong possibility that I will be making a 600-750whp kit for the community before my big power build comes to life. I could just put all of my info out there, but that honestly does me no good.

2. I have not once denied help to anyone on this forum, so keep in mind that im not denying any help by keeping my cards close until I have a proven system. I would love to explain all of my ideas to the community, but the fact is that nothing is proven yet. All you have to do is remember the hype that Elite brought to the picture only to disappear months later. Maybe its just my personality, but im not the type of person to ramble and boast about what I cannot produce. Ill be keeping the community updated as progress is made.

I say let Slay do the work and he will update at his leisure. We aren't giving him anything but our attention so let's just sit back and relax. He's already doing us a favor by giving us updates when he can. He could have kept everything to himself for all we care and not even know about the project to begin with. I know the majority of us are all anxious to learn more about the build but the man has a plan, let him take the F where no F has gone before!

I completely understand now that I know you are going this for commercial reasons. I thought you were just doing this a a super fun toy. A one off kind of thing. But im glad to see that you have the rest of the community in your mind also. I cant wait to see what you come up with man! Good luck!
