You're right. And I don't really care. Have fun wasting money on your car. Its not like I haven't gone through the entire thing myself with my own car.

For what its worth, you have my condolences about your loss. I'm sure its tough now, but keep your chin up.

My sincere condolences about your mother.

I recommend that you take a serious look at the S&R single turbo kit for the HR/VHR before committing yourself to the Stillen SC. Sooo much more potential with the S&R turbo kit...

over 25k boosted miles went on my car and was never once broke down..only a few stupid issues due to defects in parts..(berk cough cough) but never broke down. i consider myself lucky for that as i didnt baby it but not everyone has bad experiences. i truly beleive the more simple it stays the more reliable it will be.

He is giving you GOOD advice, try to look at it from an angle other than your own.

Your original plan is $hit.

Have nothing nice to say so on account of your recent loss, I'll stop there.

no i hear ya..i totally agree with what u are saying too many people arent so fortunate. should always prepare for the worst.

i didnt really have downtime though cause i live upstate NY and take my car off the road for the winter and i did all the work over that time. Best way for someone to do it imo, while its down anyway and can take your time. for someone thats using the car everyday of everyseason though then yea they would have some downtime for installation of parts.

daum i didnt see you swinging on my nuts.

you can make 500rwhp on a stock block for dirt *** cheap.

no built block required.

I stated I had a built engine man. daum.

500whp on a stock DE block for cheap?

And it would last all of 2 mins....

For an older member you post a lot of ill informed, highly biased, bad advice.

its only 400RWTQ at 500RWHP

Its not a fregging turbo!

how many stock block turbos are over 400rwtq?



slow down man. I understand I got a free stock block. I stated that my build has a built block in it... I still got my Ttrim for 4500!

price quoted was for FI only. I didnt list a price for my motor which was about 8k installed and tuned!

still leaves me at 12K which is your basic turbo build on a stock block! Not doing the work yourself.

I installed my blower myself. just paid for tuning.
