TKT 0014 going out the door this week!

Joeybagodonuts · 03-10-2003, 05:16 PM

woo hoo, talk about patience, tkt 0014 is like 3 months behind! the owner is a guy who i think some of you know but doesnt frequent any boards, it is an exact duplicate to 0015 (which happened to get finished first cause thats the way the stuff came in from the machine shop) it is a custom turbo engine, exactly like bobs, with the custom fuel rail.
next up is 0016 which is nick rodenz's engine tkt 0013 is coming down for a bad ass custom block (orignally we just built todd a custom head, hes now going for the all out block and cams to match) and we got tkt 0017 eddy our favorite redneck asian's engine.
then we got tkt 0018 which is a custom block, then the customer may go for the matched head, whew, i think we got our hands full!
and to think, the whole tkt concept started with my buddys ale'xs yellow sc2 on my tkt page...the past three years people are REALLY starting to get serious, before no-one spent serious money on saturn engines, instead waasting, hundreds, even thousands on bolt ons that MAY net you 10 hp if lucky. nice to see how far the performance end has come.
