no one's flaming you just stating fact.
Keep in mind that your talking to a buisness. And I personaly know of them. They build good motors, race motors. I've never heard/seen anyone that had a street motor from them. So naturally I'm a little skeptical.
You don't know what your getting into and I'll list a couple reasons why.
1, you woulda known that this motor won't pass emisions. (don't know what area you live in)
2, 200 hp isn't all that much - maybe I'm baised <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'>
3, That motor will need to be maintained more than you think
4, That motor will be a lot more prone to detonate, and I highly doubt it will detonate more.
5, That motor doesn't come with an ECU. That's another topic right there
6, That motor might not have a streetable torque curve. Altough I haven't seen the dyno charts. With extreme cam's and lots of compression you'll probably bog until the higher rpm's. Might not be any fun to drive.
That said, I think it would be cool if you went and bought it. Mainly because I've never seen it done. It'd be fun to find out how that motor does on the street.
