I fully agree with Matt. But all that is important it's the result. On my side I prefer the hard way to get result. It's much more exciting to get a full engine rebuilt than plugging a NOS kit and it give me the chance to learn a lot about engine rebuild....after all I'm not a mechanic.
I really am not sure of what to think, cheating or not?? It's a cool feeling, and to have boost on command is fun, but head to head with someone else, is that fair??
