yea get yourself a built std 2.4 like my build. Personally i would never go back to stock block. you have time now so just build it up right now. you said you got you a secondary car so you have time. with that aggressive tune you might as well get a setup that can handle that and the stocker is not that. Come join me and mikeys 2.4 fp black army

 

Did you ever figure out what to do. Curious.

 

Any update?

• EGR Block plate

Headwork by Ron Whitney, fully rebuilt/ported

• AEM Boost gauge/controller
• Stock ECU Tephra V7 (with MAF for now)
• Shockproof Light Gear oil x3

 

Curious how much all that stuff run you?

 

Without the transfer case, FMIC, and wideband all of this cost me about 15,000 just for the parts. Many misc parts I purchased were used too. $4000 was on the motor stuff, $1700 on the headwork, $1800 on the FP Black and kit, $2000 on the trans work, $500 on the exhaust manifold, $500 on the Double pumper, $500 on cams, $700 for a used QM clutch kit, $400 for injectors, $300 for an oem oil cooler, and $300 for a Mil.Spec TB just to name some big items off the top of my head. I have a complete spreadsheet put together if anyone is interested in why a 2.4 build can be so costly. I was told I can do it for 8K, but I figured I wanted to do a lot of other things correctly while I'm at it.
