I'm not forgetting it but you can't tell someone how much it's going to cost them to reach a certain point based on deals they might or might get on used stuff that might or might not work.

Otherwise you could go on forever about deals you might or might not get. Know what I'm saying?

 

very true, but it also leaves us open to endless possibilities when it comes these sort of things

 

Well I make my post like I'm dealing with a customer. If a customer comes in and tells me "I want a 300hp dsm and have nothing but cash how much will it cost" I can't really go "well if I find this part for this cost and that part for free from jimbo bob" to give him a quote. I can only give a quote based on new parts or if anything I have used laying around I know a price for.

Therefor like I stated you will be hard pressed to have a 300hp DSM with new parts for under $3000.

Trust me no one on here wants to know the types of deals I have had in the past and then think they can do the same. A lot has to deal with luck and who you know.

I didn't want to be misleading in my post that will end up causing the OP nothing but heart ache and wallet ache at the end of his venture, I'm trying to WARN him of this happening.

 

I remember when people we're excited to have people interested in furthering there automobile knowledge.

You have'nt changed in the years you've been here..

Lighten up Ian,damn.

 

very well written and understood, although you could sell him one mod for under 1k that will get him there even on a 14b

sell him Vtec on tap

 

I'm just trying to save the guy some heart ache I wish someone would have done the same for me.

If I had dumped all the money I have into DSM's into my ls1 I'd have a 7second outlaw 10.5 ls1 now.

And everyone loves nitrous.

 

You should sell me a Ls1 core for my 240.

 

I'm hording all I can find.

 

I have a complete LS1 that needs a re-ring lifters and crank. I was thinking of rebuilding it myself incase I got that new Camaro. I have no idea what engine it will come with though and it might not be a bolt in affair.

 

Shoot me a price Miguel.
