ehh, i was an idiot, long story short, it doesnt have a fuel rail bolt... (i thought a valve cover bolt was one, long story short, the shaft is inside the intake, and i forgot about it, so i started it today and i looked under it, and there was gas pouring everywhere......

i have to pull the upper tomorrow and fix it


good news, my pypes came. need to wait and get a kewbra bumper and paint it...

so what number's you think youll get out of this?


i did the math, and just the heads cam and intake is around $2300!



in that aspect, money wise, im glad i went with nitrous, but heads, and a cam id love to do very soon!


im just wondering what's the real numbers, thouse are GREAT H/C/I selections, so do you think youll make just at 300hp300trq, or over?

im hoping about 300 to the wheels, ive been told to expect a little less, ill be happy with 290 to the wheels and torque 350ish


as long as its faster than all my friends cars, ill be good =D

yeah, im waiting, my dads at the hardware store getting a bolt, hes helping me fix my **** up, what a surprise =/ oh well, also have another problem, petcock valve in my rad is busted, and i cant get a new one in (theres 2 sets of threads etc, the outside doesnt want to come out, and thats what i need... so i put some silicon on the old one to seal it and clamped the end, so hopefully it will hold until i can get an aluminum radiator and electric fan

but yeah, its ****ing expensive

Thats a blessing in disguise with the radiator...an aluminum one will be much better even though it means you have to spend more...you dont want your new aluminum heads getting hot. Good luck
