Say what you want, when you want. I'm just saying that I'm not looking for a debate. Your statement on the takeout is exactly my point, and I don't see any difference between a Chevrolet takeout from a salvage car, and buying the exact same engine from GM Performance. Why is a GM takeout engine OK and in fact preferred, but a GM Performance engine (made on the same line) not OK? Two peas in a pod, IMO.
