Well, its getting close to summer again, and no Mustang for me. I have an 03' GSXR 750 though. Do I keep the bike, or do I sell it and get a longblock in my car?

What happen to your long block? Do you really need new heads, or is just the short block toasted?
I think you should find a way to keep the bike and still get the stang fixed. If you have some mechanical ability, it isn't too difficult to yank a shortblock from the junk yard for 200$ or less and swap it in. The 4.6 can go lots and lots of miles. If you killed the bottom end because you were making 450+rwhp, then you can detune it a bit.

Big hole right through the block, but I want new heads anyways, cause mine are stock. And yea I was making 476 at the wheels. But Im just going to get a new longblock and put my s/c back on and make 500 again.. and not be as afraid of blowing it

a forged longblock? thats $$$. that def would be the cost of your bike

id pull a used 4.6, detune the s/c to 420hp and call it a day and pocket the rest for a little while. then forge the 4.6 at a later date. the stock heads are fine. just port and polish them.

It's either in you to roll on two wheels or it isn't. I prefer to be out on the bike over my 500hp dyno proven Notch or my DD GT.

If you're a speed freak, you can go twice as fast for half the cost on a bike.

Oh ya, and another thing, you can fit several bikes in the same space your car is currently soaking up. Different bikes for different moods.


Plus I've had more women ask for rides on my bike than any of my "caged" rides combined.
