Car cost me 8k usd 18 monts ago, and I have spent since that like 10k usd (new motor, rearend, painting work, rims, suspension, 3 clutches, labor, etc) Is expensive bring performance parts to Mexico.

The rearend and a LS6 motor cost me almost the same, why GM put that 10bolts in a 300hp+ sport car? why a strong reared is that expensive?

Eagle, Diamond, K1 is not the best **** you can put in these engines. I could of got me a Darton MID sleeved ls1 with cryo treated callies rotating assembly with knife edged machining for that price. How much did you pay for assembley? I hope no more than 1k
