Ported z6 IM w/ 70mm tb and spacer, 59300 cam and maybe some custom springs.

I'm sure that Chris M could source all of that for than 750usd. still have some money for any unforseen problems during your build.

I also can cnc machine stock throttle bodies 3mm larger bore/plate for 80 bucks if you send in cores. Thats for b/d/h/f series. K series/v6 Honda stuff is 100 since its a little more labor to do them.



Im also going to make spacers for the smaller size throttle bodies also for the budget guys who are wanting to just bore over stock units.

The lsd is a good choice, but making more hp isn't always the best choice. Whats your suspension setup??  

I'd be looking at what could help get the power your making to the ground, ie adj upper control arms, replacing old worn out bushings and joints, or installing a complete energy suspension bushing kit,i personally felt this was one of the best upgrades i did, and a good shock/spring combo. This would also allow your car to hook alot better, and make your tires last alot longer.  It really makes the car alot more enjoyable to drive.

Fuck the Zex cam, all they do is spool late.  There are better, actual turbo cams, for the money.

How about ditching the ching chong meow fail snail?

I have jk motorsports traction bars, koni yellows, tien greens, and a rear sway bar off a 4door integra.  And also a getto ebay camber kit...

This is the better idea I think since I have the ES master kit for my car and have not installed the harded press in type bushings....

Camber kit
Pay someone else to put in the ES kit
Good alignment and install new lower ball joint

Buy another beater to flip?

Looking  :-\

The other thing will have to wait for now....
