"according to David at Prototech, it looks like someone has monkeyed with the fuel system so badly, that in his words, "someone went down to the local hardware store and threw parts on" (i.e., one hose inside another hose, etc). He said it was very clear where he could see Todd Knighton's (Protomotive) work ended, and some idiot's work began. He sent Todd pictures of how badly someone had screwed up his work."

Damn JD, sorry to hear about your motor, was hoping it wasn't something major :-( This is one of the downsides of getting a killer deal on a monster car.
Sounds like you are replacing all the internals otherwise I'd recommend staying with 3.6 and make power with more boost.
Good luck with the rebuild.

There was talk about me doing a PPI a while back but nothing came of it. It would be nice to know who looked at it if was in my area.
