Nice work and nice design, I can see where all 50 hours of working time came into the equation. You've got a real nice ride man! You mentioned in an earlier post that turbos weren't in the budget, but with the Nitrous Outlet modified Hogan sheet metal intake and ported/modified Brodix heads, I have to ask, what was the budget/goal for that pavement destroyer?

I have had most of thiese part for many years and was already running juice. Turbo's would add another $12,000 to my budget that I do not have right now.
On the subject of turbo's....If you want a true class performer then you do not buy them on e-bay. our Turbo program will be in the 1,600hp+ range

You're kidding, right? I know a few cheapskates who had to buy new motors when those inferior Chinese turbos sent metal shavings through their engines within a few thousand miles. Hardly the budget choice.
sorry to steal the thread.
