97 GSX Journey
NOTE: To all new DSMers out there or people thinking of buying their first DSM. Don't be afraid of crankwalk, what happened to my engine was 100% my fault of being young and impatient. I had DSMLink and didn't know how to use it. and i had no important instruments like OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. Be smart about your money and spend it where it counts. Get the good expensive gauges, $200 and 30 mins to install an AEM oil pressure gauge would have saved me that engine. SPEND YOUR MONEY WISELY AND DO THE JOB RIGHT, spending more on quality parts now and making sure that its done correctly now will save money in the long run and also may save your life. I didn't change anything to my setup (at the time) but once i started to learn and do some research and a lot of reading i went from mid 14 sec passes to 12's on the same setup.
Money and parts only make it capable, knowledge makes it happen. Everyday i learn new stuff, go to DSMPurity.com or another reputable forum.
I pretty much cover everything else in the video.

Just a mix of my videos with some music. All the races with other cars was with the stock engine with 50 trim,later I got the 2.3 stroker but I sold it.
