HOLY..I go away for the day, and the thread gets intensely interesting

There's no doubt that the JL is great when you consider the price point. I'd venture to say that Ofna could have jacked the price up and it would still have been money well spent.

Is it the same quality as a Nova..no..we all know that, but the casting is gorgeous, and it certainly looks OS-ish in quality. Would I rather have one OS Speed or two JL , I'll take two please.

Will it hang with a Nova..yes, I think it will hang with others as well..this engine is turning heads at our track too. It's also butter-smooth and tunes great. Will it last as long as a Nova.. I doubt it, but time will tell if it lasts, mine only has two gallons on it, but I'll find out.

Being that it's modded and running at a higher level than it was designed to run, I will take certain precautions. I plan on putting a new con-rod and ceramic rear bearing, and a new front bearing for good measure. I'd be foolish not to. It's a great mill, and deserves it's props.

I'll get to run against my my good buddy's( and u know who u are Billy) FMS quite a bit I'm sure this race season. He and I are highly competitive, and we get along great, so I know it'll be a blast
