Amen bro!Yeah, too many times these kids get wrapped up in trying to go after these big numbers they can't afford. They think they need all these expensive parts, when truth be told they could have spent way less, had a running car and enjoyed it more than never driving it.
The shops are not helping the matter either, pushing parts to make some $$. These kids come in here and get talked into some $700 cams and $400 springs when a $200 set of regrinds and $80 springs would do just fine.
I just added up the cost of the parts on my car when I went 10's on a stock block last fall. It was about $2000 in parts to added to a car in running condition. There's people that spend more than that on a head and cams for a 16G.
Then you get the ones that get the car built and have no money for spare parts, and end up parting it out for pennies on the dollar.
