Exclamation

Thats exactly what i wanted to hear. This year i just wanna get the car driving and get a grasp of the ls engine, new to them. Im sure i am going to love them compared to old school small blocks. The combo this year is pretty mild and should run well. Next year if all goes well i would love to do a single 76mm setup with the e85. I was a technician before switching to work at jeep plant so it feels good to be wrenching again. I fig i could do the setup for between 4000-5000$ since 99% will be done myself.

Take what your IDEA of a budget is for a project, and do yourself a favor and TOSS IT OUT THE WINDOW!!!

Budgets always get surpassed for any number of reasons. LOL

Mine was $4500 for my S-10 last year. I am at almost $6000 and $1100 of that is wheels and tires alone.

I was not refering to the budget of 4000-5000$ for the whole car, that was just for the turbo set up. For me its easy to stick to the budget, with two kids and me being the only income if i dont have the money for the car i dont spend it lol. i know all about having 1000$ plus in rims and tires, im running a 275/60 mt drag radial and havent even purchased rims yet and im at almost 500$ for two tires.
