Well I called 4 shops today, 1 didn't answer, but the other three said that they quit doing P&P jobs because they said it was way too time consuming for the regular shop rate. Also, I'm trying to get a deal here, I know those online P&P intakes are good, but damn, they want a butt load of money for them, and to redass, you need to have a P&P engine with a performance cam if you really want to see any real gains from FI, forged pistons and piston rods also isn't a bad idea, but that's way way more than I "WANT" to pay right now.

I'm not opposed to paying that much...I just don't have it.[8D]

I think that's a pretty general problem with everyone. And I agree, while FI will kick *** it will be that much better if the engine is already P&P'd.

Why not just get a split port conversion kit from RPM? You'd probably gain quite a bit...

i didn't even see that post. i guess a 120RWHP gain isn't much at all from my non-cooled vortech [:@]

Man, gran turismo, I havn't played that in a couple of years, I prefer Forza Motorsport and the newer Need For Speed titles. Point is, if I'm going to do somthing, then I'm going to do it right. And I still have yet to go to Kenner to see Jody about a new stang, but like I said, nobody really wants to cosign for me right now, they all tell me, we'll get you whatever you want after you graduate college, in which I already know, I'll graduate college, and by that time I'll probably have a 250rwhp plus stang, and will wind up, as usual, buying the damn car myself.
