I'm sure there's a few guys on here wanting side jobs...

Rickels8099 just did one for me, N2HIFI has done a few for me and they both do great work! Also before he says it cause I know he will...If it's a b series GunmetalSi is all over it too. :biggrin:

thats because the crossover doesn't have the kick or sound like it does with B series.

faster than your car i bet if your profile is accurate

.its not what alot of people consider fast but it will stay right beside mustangs. i would be willing to bet i can do a mid to high 14. you all can tell me how stupid i am but il have a timeslip when we go to gateway in june. and for whoever said i would do a high 15 i will guarantee it to do better than that.

price of swap? if i got a motor and tranny and pcm

b18a/b arent too expensive. if you get an ls tranny it wont be real expensive either. but if you step it up to a gsr or SI tranny they start getting more expensive. if you look around you can prolly get an engine tranny and ecu for pretty cheap. just the parts you can prolly do for 1000-1500 i would think. plus labor if you have someone else put it in.
