Would it be weird (like would the car feel different from stock) driving the stage 1 motor without boost?

Hmm, not as powerful because of lower compression but maybe you could use regular gas?

That's just a guess though lol

I would call Kyle, and talk to him about it. He is VERY knowledgeable, and has been building for 10-15 years. He won't steer you wrong, I can promise you that.

No, that was implied to Jonny. He was going to buy my hood, but got one color matched to his car, for the same price.

If I bought the motor from IPP, will they ship & I can have it installed here, or will I have to drive to Spring?

Yeah I was talked out of the VK and I think I'm gonna go with Kyle for a built motor and the Powerlab kit.

Does he do motor installs by any chance? Figured hell, it's only 4 hours away

He will ship where ever you want. What are you going to do for a core?

I am sure he will, he used to be the back bone of SGP. Good choice by the way. I am considering going to the Powerlab myself.

my bad. I have been thinking the same thing myself. Gregg Williams is putting one hell of a team together, and 2 of our starting rookies will be back from injury in full force too. Tracy Porter, and Jemario Pressley. Jemario is one of our customers, he is pretty damn cool.

Greer looks to be promising for man to man. I personally think it'll be Greer and Porter starting. I can't wait to see Pressley in action, I heard good things about him when he's healthy. Seems to be talk about Usama Young at FS too, I think he'd be a better FS than a CB but that's just my opinion.
