i am gonna build it next summer. pickin up an extra motor for 500. throwin in rods, pistons, head studs, p&p, 3 angle valve job, supertech valve springs, cometic head gasket, and cryo treating the block. im doing basically the same build minus the triflows and plus turbo. as it stands i should only be driving turboed for less than a yr before i rebuild. As long as i get the kit within the next 2 or 3 months i should have the money for new clutch in the spring and the cash to buy all the internals and the spare motor.

i drive pretty mature so im not gonna be going WOT runs from a dig all day long. i wanna make it last as long as possible before i rebuild.

So... this has taken a big turn.. no longer going NA.. buying the zzp turbo kit. stg 1 w/60s. ill be adding my own air-to-air intercooler to it. Since i have 600/2175 im still getting another 5-600 check as soon as my bank processes the check and then another 600 dollar check around mid-end of august. after that im selling my intake, header, and dp and i should have enough to get the kit.!! woohoo!!!
