I would hate to see what you consider expensive then. Between the trans, fuel, engine, turbo, you are looking at near $15k easy.

Besides I could have spent that on a new car. Would rather have a fast truck.

I hope you didnt get the BME aluminum rods, those arent meant for a street driven vehicle.

No Aluminum. Alot of the parts have already been ordered and some are already being put together. This will be done by the beginning of summer.

Twin rear mount 88's!?! That's the stuff legends are made of.

We'll see if he chimes in.

I don't know anything about turbos.

Sorry for the hijack, back on topic.
