where should I blow $500?

Well, here is my problem...I am moving out of my apartment and my buddy is giving me $500 for my security deposit so he can move in. Where do I spend it?


This means the buick fund just grew by $500. The car has 94K miles on it. Should I buy Razor's alky kit or spend a tad bit more and buy another short block to start rebuilding for when I grenade this motor?

Also, is Razor's kit really worth almost $100 more than SMC's? Last time I checked, SMC kits were $395 and Razor's were $495. I have heard good stuff about both and I know many people who use Razor's so I know it isn't junk, but I would like to know the advantage/drawback of each.


Thanks in advance!

DCVING 6: yes and no...we have a buyer, but we're getting an exhaust put on it first.


Tyler: I'm moving back home since I'm student teaching and we don't get paid for that, so I don't need another place to live for awhile!

brilliant! I'll go gamble the $500 in vegas and then have enough to buy both...or not enough to make it back home

I say go with the alky. Ive never used SMC but Razor's kit is awsome. All Ive heard from him is awsome feed back and ive called him numerous times and he was very cool about all of them. Good luck deciding

well if you get lucky in the vip room you'll be "relieved" of a few swimmers. which means you'll be lighter not only in the wallet but in the testicular region also. lighter=faster.

its a win win situation my friend.
