my motor is sitting in the garage waiting for my connecting rods to finish being made currently*

my best advice is to make sure you keep an extra budget for the possibility of something going wrong after you boost your car. that or buy once and cry once. strengthen your heads and run 9-10 psi. the car should be what you're looking for with a conservative tune

How much would you estimate for heads and rods?

my valve springs were $250 and connecting rods are being built by skunk2 were a little less than $400 for all 4 (forged H beams) but i am letting a shop take care of the block.

edit* i think map performance will build heads to 1000hp for $1800-1900 if you supply your own core.

Here's the dyno chart below along with my current setup. Car is tuned with ECUtek.
- HKS injector upgrade
- HKS oil cooler
- Tomei EL headers
- Tomei front pipe
- Tomei over pipe
- Greddy CS GTS V2 catback

id really like to hear how that sounds dude. any videos? also what is your peak boost? bored 42mm restrictor?

I don't have any videos but I like the setup. The only downside is it does get a bit loud when you open up the throttle, makes it hard to have a conversation with a passenger when your on the highway/expressway.

peak boost is around 8psi.

nice number.

Did you enlarge inlet diameter of restrictor? if then , how much?

I'm using Tomei UEL, HKS V2 SC with 41.5mm restrictor now.

Does the V3 come with a restrictor?

I used the restrictor plate that came with the fuel injector upgrade.

Alright awesome awesome. Would you think someone who hasn't installed a supercharger system could figure it out over a weekend with your kit?

My vote is for SBD. You will miss the torque.
