how much will a built motor cost and wat kind of whp#### will be acheivable?? any one know of any good builders in florida??

 

we can handle anything you would like to have done to your car. send me an email or pm with what you have planned and i can get you an estimate....

 

There is someone in Florida that doesn't know you JT????

 

Forged is right in ATL, and they can get you a built motor to handle 600-650whp, for $3,485, and they'll pay for your car's transportation and a flight for you to go out there. Read up on Forged man, nothing but good things said about them and the tuning they do.

 

built motors should handle whatever you throw at them. Obviously the more you spend the more it will handle due to material differences and such.

 

forged is A++

 

not trying to highjack the thread but with a built motor how much horsepower will you gain say new cames pistons heads etc. In my SS i got about 500to the wheels but i i borred a little?

 

The purpose of a built motor is not to gain HP, but to make it safe to run high hp & tq with forced induction.

There has only been one member to my knowledge that has achieved more than 300 whp on a built motor itself on a dynojet, and trust me, the bill is something you do not want to know about.

ok cool thanks man im used to american muscle this is my first import and i think i will prob be staying on this side lol. the quality and drivablility simply cant compare. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Depends on your goals. If you want to run NA then you bore, stroke and hi compression that pig. Then the build will mke power.
In FI terms, then yes I agree

 

how reliable would the vq be in a stroke and bore i though i heard a while back that you wouldnt be able to go so far cause of the cylinder walls to begin with? humm not sure dont know much about the VQ yet still learning as i go.

 

Yes go to Performance Factory. PM Audible Mayhem he works there.

 

im just looking for like a mildly built motor. audible mayhem and i hav exhanged pms. im looking for 500-550whp with the peace of mind of a stock Z.

 

Yeah, but that would be a waste of money unless its some personal project or goal. You would be spending big bucks for maybe 300-320 whp.

.

 

yeah the only reason he did it really was cause he owned a shop, didnt need to pay out hte *** for labor. built motors with high compression for N/A power = waste of money. if you wana stay N/A just do boltons, cams, utec, tune.

 

*sigh...If only the wife would let me.....

 

Jeremy will take care of whatever you need. Shoot him a PM

 

a built mortor for $3,485 ??? I got ripoff then, over 10k for me

 

ahh no dude! add $4000 to that! $3485 is just parts.

 

+1...The devil is in the details. Make sure your shop estimate is 99% complete, or you might in for a surprise. The shortblocks alone are $3300-$3900, and thats just the beginning of the estimate.
