my dad wants to know how much you spent for your engine combo. He currently has a 6lber with other bolt on's, but he wants the JDM longblock and whipple combination in the future. I guess he can't wait til' the 27th to talk to you at the track in person. He also wants to know if you drove your truck up there to get it done. Just include everything you had to go through. :mrgreen:

Background: (Long Story)

Early last year I decided to order a Turbo Kit from Pro Turbo. My original plan was to use the turbo on the stock motor until sometime this year. Well unfortunately my stock motor did not last as long as I thought. Immediately after the motor let go I ordered a set of Heads from JDM.

My plans now were to use JDM Heads, JDM Short block, & some custom Turbo cams. Well another problem arose; I never received my Turbo kit. I was promised 4 weeks for delivery, and here it was 3 months later, and all I had was 50% of the kit. Around July I called my Credit Card Company to start a dispute of the charges. Well it took 90 days to get the money back from Pro Turbo, but I finally got it. So after the entire ordeal I decided to go back with a supercharger.

I have family up in NJ. So my dad took my heads to JDM. They bolted them up to their short block, and installed their cams. My dad brought the motor back down, and I installed the motor into the truck. In reality I have their Long-Block but it was not bought like that. I also purchased their Whipple racer kit.

Here is a complete list of mods.

I have about $9,500 in the motor and blower. I bought all the other stuff from various vendors when they were offering specials.
