I will have 2k minus i need to get a new hood & paint the car (have some hookups so im looking at about 1.5k engine wise) I posted that i am getting a tb & intake mani p&p for me and that is not included in teh 1500$, so im looking at getting one range colder spark plugs, make sure i have a good compression and get a wet kit, that leaves me with 1000$ so then a race port head from dark enhancment which i mentioned it includes:

-Resurfaced lightly for cleaning purposes
-Intake ports gasket matched, fully ported & highly polished (Fel-Pro Gaskets were used in porting so i would use this in installation)
-Exhaust port dividers are knife edged to increase exhaust flow (pockets fully ported)
-5 angle valve job
-Combustion Chambers are bowl blended & highly polished (heard this might increase compression, does it?)
-This is a stage III head, can be upgraded to stage IV by adding REV 1mm over-sized valves (which would cost 355$ more w/ the seats to accomodate the bigger valves)


So with a p&p intake manifold, 55mm or 60mm tb, cai, 2.25" Header-back exhaust, a header, udp, the race head and nitrous what am i looking at? The nitrous n port would run me 1k$ plus install so that would be what i have, what do you guys think?

Then later on i would obviously get cams n cam gears, but not until i save more $$ LOL, damn modding is fun, but costs $$ gotta love it tho hehe like its said:

Chose any 2: Cheap, fast, good

If you want a fast & cheap car, it will not run good (well LOL)
If you want a good & cheap car, it will not be fast
If you want a fast & good car, it will not be cheap (DAMN!!! LOL)
 
shit i forgot to post the original question hehe :laugh: , right it was deciding between what i stated above and a top end 2.0 kit from howell
 
if i were you and i was going to pay someone else to install i would wait till i have everything like cams and cam gears because it will be alot cheaper in labor unless you plan on doing it your self

I don't understand what you are trying to say, purchase the head then save for cams & cam gears so they would be installed all at once????

he is saying you should buy all the stuff first, then have it all installed at once. that way, it will be cheaper in labor because the guy can do all of the stuff while hes in there. but if you do it seperatly, you get charged for the time it takes to get in there and put it back together several times.

and if its a choice between porting and a wet kit or the top end kit, wet kit and porting all the way!

:dsm: :talon:
