holy noob jackassory. 12k is a good deal if you putting 500 on the wheels reliably. No you cant just build that kit for half the price. Lol at greeks proof. Like posting a link to and advertizement is. Lol at fmfkid for instigating. Lol at gtlaw. If its not built how you want it, its a waste of money and not done right? Even though its not your car? ---

oh and yeah about the money into a car thing…lol i took time to add up my costs. It always leaves you wondering, what could i have done differently and i have about 5200 into my car plus the 4800 i bought it for… and engine mods i only have about 1700 of that 5200. 🙂 to get power you need to have everything else in order first. 🙂 ---

It would be easy to spend $12k on my engine. That would be either a TT kit or supercharger kit with cam, and fuel stuff. ---
