2007 is far from lately. LOL

is it because we are all broke assholes?

For the money you'd be spending on a stock hp k swap you could prolly have a 400-500hp b-series

duh. again as stated before, please define build. these are not the b-series engines you guys are always working on. you don't need stage "x" cams or internals to reach great power levels with k-series. :)


build as in upgrade from stock

Lots of great info on there. I just started reading about their opinions on fuel pumps yesterday from a post made back in 2000.

Not at all. It's because of the time, money, R&D, knowledge and resources that the builder of that engine has.
