It was a joke, and you fell for it. Don't make it worse for yourself.

I can never figure out why these cars feel blazingly quick one day and dog *** slow the next....ambient conditions have alot to do with it but the car almost seems to have "moods"....before and after I ported the engine

Oh well, I figure everybody says something really dumb eventually. At least I did it on a forum on the internet where noone knows who I really am.

For all you guys know, I could be George Bush. Sounded like something he would say. Oh well.

At 176lbs for short block it isn't too heavy either, I pick'em up and move them around all day.

It's even lighter if you have RB aluminum housings, lightened rotors and eccentric shaft.

Throw the twin turbo assembly, accessories, and intake manifolds on and then pick it up.

I'm not even going to try it, but if I get a chance to weigh mine with all my stuff instead of factory I will gladly post it, I'm curious myselfto see the difference, what was your short block weighing in at??
