I have a ceramic based paint cured it in the oven and every thing but a real coating is on my list after this i didnt think the metal would get that hot. My neighbors hate me they thought the block was going to be quiet after my dad sold his race bikes little did they expect this it was only like 9pm had to get it broken in though or i wasnt going to school the next day.

wow.. when i did my break in, i had it at 2k for 30 minutes.. sucked about half a tank of gas in the process.. half a tank of premium.. ouch.. $20 haha

i'm not sure if my neighbors hate me.. i usually run my car when they are at work.. most of them leave before 7am so almost anytime i can run her..
