The IPP route scares me less. I'm trying to learn as much as I can on a short timetable before I go completely catatonic.

You can buy one of those blocks, have it shipped to IPP, and have him build it, without you having to get stuck on the core charge up front. I think it's about $2k.

These motors I'm seeing at IPP seem to be geared towards boosting-- something I'd like to do eventually, perhaps, but not right away.

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

I wish they had pre-built race heads. . .didn't see any. . .

I'm not even sure what I want.

Nissan quoted me 10k for a new VQ35DE installed. I want to come in as cheaply (but reliably) under that as I can.

I'm looking at this as an opportunity to pick up something a little nicer.

Today's urbandictionary.com word of the day:

March 27: Bromance

Describes the complicated love and affection shared by two straight males.

Steve: Ah, Dave!!! I can't believe you stole this first pressing of Aladdin Sane from your record store for me. We were just talking about this the other night.

Dave: No sweat, pal.

Steve: That is some full-on bromance. You're the man.
