paul, nice builds can be done on budgets…but, i have one question… you probably have becuase you have a lot of experience, but have you ever done a complete FI build? theres odds and ends that add up quickly that will have you way over budget.
plus, the reason i was suggesting such parts/prices was because he was suggestign somewhere in the area of 7-800hp. if you want something thats gona last, and perform well, its gona cost. again, im not saying you need pro billet rods, BB turbos, AFR/ETP heads, etc,…but having a budget combination that will work still adds up quickly. you cant just throw loads of boost at something and expect it to make power and last
