Default "that sh*t is G"

that was the line i got from some guy at the light, then he asked me if it was turbo'd and i had to say "no". pretty sure im gonna start saving up, how much would it cost to have some low compression forged pistons, sleeves, head gaskets and studs put in? labor wise, i know the cost of all that stuff. cant find how much the labor is doh.

Pistons - Arias Extreme Duty 9:1 CR (estimated power rating above 1300-1500rwhp!)
Rods- Eagle Rods
ARP hardware- Main and head studs included (not sold extra like some other companies)
overhaul gaskets- every gasket new from Nissan
Headgaskets: stock (can upgrade)
rear main seals
main bearings
rod bearings
thrust washers
machine block (with use of torque plates)
balancing
polish crank
redeck heads and block- to ensure mating surfaces between the block and the heads are exact
clean parts- prep before assembly- clean oil channels, outer surface, etc.
oil pump- new from Nissan- recommended on a new motor build
Cams- stock (can upgrade)
Valves- stock (can upgrade)
3 angle valve job (3 on the valve seats, 2 on the valves)
Springs- stock (can upgrade for a higher revving application)
motor assembly – timed, with front and rear timing cover installed
head assembly- rebuilt with new valve stem seals
I think it'll run you about $6500 after sending your block back to them for a core refund. Then you got about $1400 for the swap.

How many miles on your block???

He's provides free shipping of your car and, I believe, complimentary air fare to pick it up when you have them do a complete build up..

Actually I think it's funny. Many people that say it choose to live paycheck to paycheck. I can afford a lot. I choose to spend my money in different areas. There's difference between not affording and choice.
