It cost me around 6K for the 2 clusters... Hell yes I'm still blown!!!
I'm just taking it easy on the dumbass part....Until I find a Cobra engine of course


ORIGINAL: GT Premi

How much did it cost to get back up and running? Did you still use forced induction?

When you break a motor is usually better unless you do the error of putting everything stock. When I break Ill forged everything up and pump the boost to 20.

You are bang on. Not being a dumbass and forging things will save you money....
