yeah...customer cars, lol. won't be setup for another month...you don't just drop off a dyno and start using it, although i wish that's how it actually was...
The bias on the internet is pretty amazing, lol. They're a great engine. Albeit the first generation of the I5 had valve seat issues which GM acknowledged and extended the warranty for...but beyond that I know a couple people that have over 200k miles on them w/ zero issues.
The second generation resolved the valve seat issue and improved the engine in many other ways...
As far as it being unbalanced...the thing has 2 massive balance shafts and idles smooth as silk...the I6 version was place on Ward's 10 Best Engines for ~5 years in a row...lol...
I didn't say fat, I never used the word fat...I said had a stomach/gut...
...and not every American is fat, that's like saying everyone from the UK has ****ed up teeth...it's a stereotype. My girl doesn't have a gut, none of her friends do...maybe my standards are just a bit higher...I dono...
I've been to raves...and yes, raver chicks are like that...there's exceptions to the rule...but that's just how it is...not talking shit, just making an observation...
I don't know a single car company that would honor after-warranty clams and give a discount on labor/parts...that's because no car company/dealership/repair shop is in the market to lose money...
What are you talking about?
Warranty Ends = End Of Warranty...it doesn't mean, "we feel bad because things broke so here's a discount because you beat the shit out of your car."
lol, 90k? Who cares. I have a bunch of customers running 120k+ mile blocks at 10psi as daily drivers w/ zero issues...
Going N/A is going to cost you way more money...and have way less of a result...ie: your car will still be just as slow as it was before and after unless you spend an arm and a leg building the engine correctly. Intake manifold for your car is like throwing money in the trash...
