I'm pretty sure I want to buy this motor from turnkeyengines, any reason I shouldn't ? It's probably in the . Sorry if it is.

There's alot in the sponser section to the right ---------->>>>>>>>>>>>. Like Katech, SDPC, Speed Inc, and W2W (Wheel to Wheel) just to name a few.

You probably haven't gotten many responses because the link you posted is not a sponser and nonsponser links are not allowed. You should delete/change the thread or this thread will get locked or a mod will remove the link for you.

Leaving the link only cause I can't delete it... But you definitely need to check into a shortblock from some of the sponsors. For $13.8k you can build an LS7 practically. I think that you should do some searching before you pull the trigger on that stock cubed motor. Wasting your money. LME, Thunder, SDPC and hundreds other sponsors would be glad to price you out a budget or non-budget shortblock and get some heads that will truly work with your selection.

id personally go to exotic performance plus add get their d1sc setup intalled for like 7500 bucks or maybe a f1 head unit and either invest the rest of the cash on a built motor or tranny/rear and then a built block, but 500rwhp on a mustang dyno for 7500 bucks is awesome

Sorry I didn't realize your policy on non-sponsor links. I'm so overwhelmed right now . Gonna go check the sponsor section.

I checked out all those companys. Pretty awesome feedback. I liked the feedback from LME the most, I'd need a complete motor though, do they sell them, or just the blocks? Looks like the way to go is to add a little juice also
