picked up my intake manifold and tb lastnight!! just need to pick up a oil sensor and crankshaft sensor should have everything. I am looking at picking up some different heads and tossing in a CAM And will be ordering the ARP head stud kit so thats done with since I need to assemble. I will try and get the sikky headers ordered and then work on setting aside the remainder of the funds for the tranny and the sikky mount kit!!! trying to get everything done around March-April timeframe.

Nice! I am hoping I can get my build completed sometime next year. I might scrap the heads I bought from you and go with revups. Some of the revup oil pan parts are different as well. I will let you know about that if you still have the oil pans.

I have been looking into them but the price for the FAST intake manifold and TB is around a Grand USED......I just want to get the car up and running first because items like that are top end and I can swap them out later and get them tuned. Currently I will have a cam installed with some 243 heads and upgraded valvetrain. The block also has upgraded pulley as well installed.

the revup oil pump is different but not the oil pans..they are the same across the board.

I bought some today. I got everything bolted back up and its leaking through the 3 pin holes on the pipe now so I am removing again tonight and tossing in JB Weld on the inside and see if that secures it for good.

I installed some Fast Intentions HFC's today. I was going to install a Borla catback too but I ran into some issues so I'll have to try again another time.

The FI HFC's sound pretty good though. I may just leave it like this

I also ordered a Infiniti trunk emblem today to mount on the mesh in my front grill. I think it's going to look pretty sick
