Thanks guys! It's been about a yr and a half of accumulating parts and finally starting to come together. I should be goin to pick up s/c, tb, and valve cover this coming week from Jr. and dropping off my spare head with parts to get P&P and assembled. looking to put s/c, meth kit, tb, and valve cover in the next month or so and head probably won't go on til about summer with me having school starting up. since i work full time i plan to take a week off and slowly work on pulling everything, doin the nbs delete and such
well the bottom end i will do i full build once mine decides to crap out. i don't really drive far all the time so car won't be beat on too badly and only bottom end only has 41k on it. down the line i would like to do a girdled block with 4340 rods, diamond 10.1:1 pistons with total seal rings, ati super dampener. for now just decided to do the top end
around 25-26 i believe @ 7k on stock head. with P&P head probly around 22ish

Lol Idk bout that one. I can't hear the m62 like at all. Hoping to hear the MP90 a lil better. Lol. My car is retarded loud. I always feel bad when I have to go to work early in the a.m. lol
Riceburner, go home your drunk
glad to see another lsj build thread, interested to see this mp90 and what it can do. Oh and just so you know your clutch won't last long mine didn't and I'm only around 300 right now. Get the Gmpp it's cheap and worth it's weight in gold
