not to mention axels and fuel pumps and hell alot more upgrades then what it might be worth, id say do the garret kit, do some forged internals and call it at that, espically if its a daily driver and the 300hp range is more than enough for a lilitle speed

i havent done that yet but i should get a good deal because ive gotten in good with the guys over at Jotech Motorsports so hopefully. but the head is gonna cost me around 1200-1400 to get ported and valves all installed.
problem im having right now is i need a spare 07 motor to keep from putting my car down

Probably a whole week it will be in the shop I would guess. Man, that's a pretty comprehensive build.

I did notice something. You have turbo grind cams and a fully upgraded valvetrain + Neutral shafts. The powerband on the turbo cams is 2200-7000. You probably should have gone with Stage 3 cams instead and adjustable cam gears. You would make more use of that head work and valvetrain and neutral shafts(since you done need them until about 7500rpms).

I'm doing all that later, everything is getting boosted and tuned for 7 psi first.
Internals will come when I pay this off first, lol.
It's just a lot of money all at one time, I can't do it all up front like that.
Good luck, I'm waiting on some good numbers out of that thing.

no im an 07. i just bought the car in 06. i can see the confusion.
having to send off for a tune instead of some right then and there physically doing it isnt the same. theres way too many variables that come into play and when your spending as much money as i am im not taking any chances on blowing it up
