The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXII

Spooler · 03-05-2019, 02:40 PM

My best advice would be this. Base your build on what folks have had success doing. Look for the builds that have had issues a certain power levels. Understand why they happened. Base your build on a power level that will be just under what folks are having issues at. Only other thing to do is get a top of the line shop to do the build. Don't get addicted to the boost crack and need more. Don't be the one needing the highest HP. It will drain your bank account.

If you got experience. It's not hard. But if you are short on experience. You can get over your head really quick. Then you're stuck.

It's why I'm coming to your for help this season. YouTube can only teach me so far and I don't feel like screwing up measurements cutting a hood or getting air in my brakes from not doing calipers properly.

Even the most experienced folks can have an issue if they try to push it too far trying to hit that magic HP number. I would rather turn it down a little and have a build that lives a long time.

Never knew you were that close. I'll let you know whenever we settle on a weekend date for the install. Feel free to bring the GTR.

I have a grandson that is 5 and they are putting him in the first grade because he has mastered what is taught in kindergarten, and he needs a challenge. The school thought he had ADHD, nope, the kid's borderline genius and is bored with mundane stuff once he masters it.

Don't let them stuff your kiddo in a box, find what works for him and run with it. It seems to me that docs have become sales reps for Big Pharma and aren't really interested in helping people get well. Always remember it's called 'practice of medicine' for a reason....
