You show me a builder that can that motor with a turbo kit , fuel management ,etc.,etc. for half. Bull ****. motor alone with the sheet metal is between 30-35 through any top builder.I know,i've built one. 15k more for a turbo kit and full engine dyno tune and break in doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. IMO Sure you can through a 15k longblock in there that will make the same "power" but for how long?

x2 Besides, I didn't say "the exact setup for half the cost". I said a setup with the same power and durability. Half the parts on that setup can be substituted for "less expensive" parts with little to no effect on total power output. Nelson uses all the high end/high price bells and whistles to get the high end price tags...fine for someone who has more $ than they know what to do with.
Thats my opinion, please correct me if im worng....

I think VA speed and Nelson are in two diffrent markets. Im totaly sure VA could do what nelson is doing if they wanted to. Nelson is trying to sell more set packages rather than the more custom stuff shops like VA do.
Thats my opinion, please correct me if im worng....

I'm sorry, but you guys saying VA speed could do for cheaper are crazy...
Nelson has his own turbos that are mirrored so all your exhaust is equal length... Look up his videos on youtube, his stuff can run the numbers. **** the F-bomb on low low boost went bottom 10's.
Sorry, but this motor is

I'll just add this,since i was brought up.I really doub't i could shave alot off the price of that engine-def some do to the fact my stuff is built for shear performance and not bling.but the bling doesn't cost that much extra.
BTW-if Jay leno call me-i would build a motor for him too

Nelsons stuff is straight up show stuff that you see at SEMA but getting down the track takes alot more than a big engine dyno number pull that is over in 2-3 seconds.
And plus one on most magazines being a joke. The guys writing these articles are journalists not "pros". They regurgitate what ever they are told as if it were gospel without any verification.

Hot Rod magazine is awesome, anyone who disagrees is a retard.
Mirror turbos are more than just looks. It also helps with packaging restraints and ease of tuning. As well as cylinder bank to bank variations... SUCK IT
Like any of you are more qualified to talk about his **** than I am(Shawn @ VA excluded)... Tards
