BBK's for a Fox or a F-Body might suck, but they are great on Cobra's.

You can't understand what? that some people's budgets are not up to par with yours? Its not that hard to understand. Your clearly like buying the highest dollar parts for each part, lol not all of us can do that. I can live with the fact that i didn't spend 1k on headers, and 1200 on rims without tires. Etc...

No i understand that part...but im too lazy to continue honestly. I wouldnt call myself an elitist. Im just as broke as everyone else in the world. Id rather buy 1 badass part for x amount of money then 2 lesser badass parts for the same amount of money. Theres no rush... so why rush buying parts?

You'd love my buddy's 01 Z28 build then 
Makes sense.
I got the ebay knockoffs on my old lt1 ws6 for $260 shipped IIRC. Stainless steel longtubes and ORY. It did just fine for the money. I think somebody measured and they were only 1-5/8", but definitely still gains
Im in no rush, i have parts sitting in my closet waiting to get put on, certain parts just are out of my budget. Im not going to spend $1000 on headers, another $700+ on an exhaust, $1500+ on wheels and tires and be 3k+ into a car that isn't even tuned. Its not worth it for my situation. But hey if it is for you then more power to you! Maybe if i was building a record chaser car, yeah.

Thats the reason why i didn't get ebay LT's, ebay products have like NO quality control. Atleast pacesetters are made in the U.S and have better quality control. Probably the only ebay LT's id consider are OBX LT's, but all there **** is made overseas so it would probably be the same ****.

Seems like built 4l60e's were a good deal back then too. Got my performabuilt level 2 with an upgraded tranny cooler and their custom shift kit for just shy of ~$1,500 after giving them my core
