I think it's going to seem like you have a stock 4 cylinder engine now.

6K you better feel a difference. Yeah your friend is an idiot. My question is what would this have cost if you had them pull the motor and do the install?

Thanks guys, i really can't wait now.
i told him will race when i'm done, we race before,from a dead stop and with my old tires spining we were even until about 50-60 mph. second time from rolling start and he could not catch me but we only did 50-60 mph again
now i have new evo-z tires and they grab alot better so it will be fun racing him.
he has a 1992 v12 mercedes benz.
i have been planing this build sense i bought my formula 2 years ago, i just want to make sure i do everything right.

Yeah he is an idiot. OCTANE DOES NOT MAKE POWER the only thing it does is resist detonation. Airflow with proper fueling and compression are what make power and you are going to be moving a whole lot more air and are increasing compression. Bet the car puts more to the wheels after this than what it has at the flywheel now.
