that is very true, im always on watching different builds, reading about diff. products... gotta stay up on everything or you fall behind!

 

TODAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY. not only is it the bday my i beam rod and gt spec chrome bar comes in today to JMS yes sir.

 

Sounds good! My block should be arriving at ER today also!

 

edit they got the rod stupid fedex is garbage my package got delayed for my chrome strut bar till june 9. I hate fedex but so many people ship with them always delays and crappy service with them i swear.

 

Isnt a chromed strut bar gonna weight more then a non chrom one?

 

wtf dude!! ITS GT SPEC. great company and no it does not weigh a ton but it looks hella sexy for sure and more function. better then the oem for sure.

 

Fed ex sucks. I work there. haha. I tried to ship a block through freight there, since i work there, and ive never talked to such stupid people. I ended up just going to ups lol

 

Nickie so what is the deal with your build? Any new updates?

 

Found your thread! +1 for all updates!

Well everything is back at the shop but the shortblock. I spoke with Aaron yesterday, and they are just waiting on some parts to come in.

But the shep tranny and transfercase are back, and all the boltons, etc are there waiting.

 

Nick what Ibeams did you end up getting?

Mikey

 

Not sure yet. Either the GSC or the Manley's. I think the manleys because there was going to be a couple weeks wait for the GSC.

 

The Manley Turbo Tuffs are heavy as ****. Doesn't help the fact that we are trying to rev higher... just my .02 cent. I can't remember the weight of my GSCs off the top of my head, you will have to ask Aaron but I know they were lighter and the Wiseco pistons are lighter than the JEs.

Man I want a 2.4!

 

Well, I'm kinda like you, and dont plan on staying with this small of a turbo forever. I have one more year of school left, then i will hopefully be making some decent money. I plan on stepping the turbo up then, and I dont want the rods i choose now to limit me down the road. There are always sacrifices, you just gotta choose your battles.. haha
