I ve been thru the turbo, big blower, and NA ringer. Telln ya, a decent turbo system still gunna cost $$,$$$.$$, unless you can fabricate/weld yourself. And thats assuming you have enough general auto knowledge to at least swap a motor and or all bolt ons. It TRULY comes down to what your end goals and intended uses are! Its just that simple and only in the planning stage. From there its all work and coin.

The Huron Speed kit is 2k right now for the group purchase that is bolt on. Say it becomes 4k with import tax....a forged 5.3 liter is MAYBE 5k with import tax. Add a 1000 turbo that has proven itself like VSR. That's 10k for an Aussie setup that'll make 800whp all day and drive like a dream.

Think you got Fucked ....I did! Short block was good but someone over Tq'ed a stud and broke it off. Was just passing by and Low and be hold **** said it was closed. Few guys got fucked out of 30k+ $. I'm talking short block $ around $2300. He can't being Zach Nelson can't or will not open another shop ... Besides me the SA's looking for lil buddy. Bortous you nor Darth consider street what I consider street. No losses in the top end is rule 1 reason I love heads and do what I do. And you should know that I **** with Darth. Even he knows this no matter what. I still have all the parts but.... I'm hot super 🔥 my short block or $. I travel so if he gets a new business... I know he knows this. ****! Should have went to H squared instead of... Zach's good we just need to meet or I find him.
I said 730 to 750 this isn't no fucken game, I just don't have the time nor tools to do my ****. I've got to many I've spec'ed on memory, to come here and be tricked fooled or hood winked Bortous. Andrew who works at SAM is gonna contact me. Which is cool. Guy says he's lost big $ 25k+ .....I'm talking $2500 and dude can't open a shop anywhere in the Continital United States...my Short block or my $...SA looking 2. So Bortous you said it right why post here..Cause honestly it don't cost that much and there isn't anything being done that ain't been done...You got me on the plastic intake.. I hate it and anyone using it. Y? You talk heads but fail to give the same subject what's wanted for the subject. I made a head as I told you and rule 1 is what if you like or love heads... So yeah I said

Lord bless we correct the problem of my $ if not **** still gonna get done...H squared...just need to see dude face to face... Bortous I don't play with $ nor HP... It came from work, time, research...

Dude has 1 or the 2: build or $ no matter where in the Continital United States talked about..if the public only knew..Look at some on here the same way and $ not even involved... I don't say or speak just because...just like I got F'ed ..hello Zach when seen ...no matter what State or city. Still got Sam tech guys/teachers but ...**** happens. Bortous I'll stay off any build with a plastic intake... So I won't be posting much..here anyways.

Man ...man,man...I can find anybody.. why this and y **** with me. Not the answer I like...ok. no fake news... I'm that dude.. friend did my build already so I can't lie..****.

Smoke, man, I feel for ya! Nobody deserves that kind of crap. You know I give you a hard time about posting while baked. But you also better know I do not think badly about you at all. We all throw crap back and forth, sometimes a little serious, but usually in fun.
I hope someone can make good on this deal for you. You do deserve that. Later man.

Dude if I read that right same **** happened to my wifes dad. He paid a guy to do a build for him. Dude drank all the money. And from other customers too. Sheriff ended up seizing everything. Dozens of motors not started. All the money spend on booze.
