    authentic boosting?

    There are certain things that we can and shouldn't use Ebay stuff for our cars. Ebay turbos (unless bought from a specific reputable site posting on ebay) is big no-no. Anything that has to do with performance isn't an ebay go-to. If you're on a budget, understandable. But keep in mind, you'll...

    Just ported slightly my throttle body. Cleaned it out free of gunk and good stuff. Everything is connected and set right but when i start my car it goes to 4k rpm, slowly rises and levels at 5k. I have probably 40% of my gasket left since the other part of it cracked and isn't on there. Before I...

    If you're gonna boost, forged rods and pistons and MUST have ARP head-studs and probably mains.

    rebuild 420a

    With anything over 125K on the 420As, I would rebuild the whole motor. You probably have bad piston rings as well, more than likely. If it is your DD, save up for a new motor and swap it once you have the motor ready to go and a few hundred on the side in case you need some other shit.

    Bottom end rebuild cost?

    My bottom end was $2500, I got it for $1550 with shipping. Slowboy racing shortblock. Deffiently not stock because it's turbo ready but worth the money.

    Reasonable Power Goal?

    Go for about 300. The goal for my 420A build is 350 but about 210 N/A and then when it's time for a turbo, about 320 hopefully. Mines FWD 5 speed.
