@rabtech you and I have spoken at length about building a stronger motor and at one point like you I was ready to do a DIY. But you are 100% correct some things are better done by the guys who do it every day. I think when a lot of people look at cost they never include the vale of their own time. The prices DDM is charging for a completely built motor are more than reasonable when you take into account parts / labor and warranty. The purpose of this endeavor was to build a stronger motor and take away the worry of a catastrophic failure. We both could have saved a few pennies and could have made a simple mistake causing a failure.
But the very best part is MORE FRIGGIN POWER!
I completely agree that @Jeff@DDMWorks and @Dave@DDMWorks know what they are doing... It is worth every penny....and good vendors deserve our support!
Now lets go do the Dyno Wars!
