Forged internals + cams + trick heads + port/polish + blueprinting + overboring + labor for all that, and you're damn near out of money.

Never mind all the custom intake/intercooler/headers/exhaust, electronics, fuel delivery, turbo(s), dyno tuning... /I could spend $30k in a week, and still be only just getting started.
mainly because it would take months for it to be completed :lol: :wink:

Yeah, but the 1st week's parts order would exceed the budget times three. :lol:

I could build a hell of a motor in my car if somebody gave me 10k. Of course, I wouldn't want to... cause I'd want to spend it on the cage, brakes, seat, fire system & suspension. :lol:
