damn the weirdest thing happen to my car today. I stopped to put air on my tire and when i finished putting air i noticed my oil pressure and voltage go down and also my engine temp went up like crazy. I stopped the car and turned it off , open up the hood and noticed nothing wrong. I went back on the highway and everything went back to normal. Called up the mad genius Robert and found out that it might be my battery or alternator. Damn i was scared it might of been something worst. 
just wanted to share with you all this i don't know if its happened to any of you all.

Stage I is probably all I really need but Stage II comes with C2 cams and HD springs and 5 angle valve job for only 1200 bucks more. I should get a little more power at the mid and top end which is where I want it for Road Course and highway pulls.... I would have to wait a few more months to have enough for the Stage II. I could probably swing the stage I next month. It takes about 3-4 weeks for all block and head work. They accept 70% down to get started and the rest when it is complete.
Then I still need a fuel return system 900 bucks, pay to have the rest assembled 600 bucks, and a tune 400 bucks.
Decisions....decisions.....decisions.....
I haven't even looked at the LS1-2 swap
Things to consider:
How much power can I actually make with a powerlab kit ~580max
Sup Fredzzzz Where you been man?
ls1 swap ummm idk
no I haven't il take a look at it tonight
Does anyone know for sure how much hp 650cc injectors are good for?
Right now I'm leaning towards the stage II also. Its just worth doing it now while everything is being assembled. I am waiting on a response from them on the final price out the door after taxes and hidden charges.
After doing some more research and reading what the importpartspro states for their long blocks I don't think I really need to spend the extra 550 for ARP L19 head bolts and mains. They recomended that for 600 plus rwhp.
If I buy the stage I cjm fuel return then according to the website it's only good for 500-550 rwhp. The stage II is good for 600-650. I do not think I can make that much power with the PowerLab. So that means I might not be able to make more than 550. Stage I or II fuel return. 900 bucks or 1200 bucks

So I quickly looked at the stroker kits.
5000 bucks just for the kit itself. I still would need to do all the machine work which would probably be another 2000. Add to that everything else involved in putting the heads, cams, timing, ......etc OMG Forget that idea! Sounded good at first but man, thats way over my budget.
I should just go with the Stage I and buy some new wheels. I have my eyes on some that made my
........
Nah, Stage II it is.

The destruction has begun:
Donor Motor
All turbo piping has been removed.
Complete Front clip is off.
Tranny is unbolted from the motor
Need to begin disconnecting the wiring harness and everything else that is attached to the motor and the car itself. There are a lot of things still pending. Taking my time since there is no hurry at the moment. If they accept the donor motor the way it is, then i'll leave my motor in till it is closer to receiving the new motor.
