Normally it wouldn't take 2 weeks but I can't pick it up until Saturday anyways so it's all good. I prefer for them to take their time and make sure everything is perfect. BTW, I am driving a 2006 IP 6MT coupe in the meantime so even though I don't have my G, I still am driving a G.

haha!! Isn't a trip how what seems like a small/minor job turns into much more? Initially I was just going to get the basic Vortech kit installed and it slowly turned into a much bigger job with the more things I kept adding. lol!! 
My last trip to Sam cost me $9300 and we didn't even mess with the engine, just VB, TC, Plenum Spacer, Catch can, 2 oil coolers, blitz SBC, Fcon and tune and some oil leak issues... but he is the best.
This trip is minor and probably last trip will be a bigger motor haha, just shot me now

Man this is so true. I said I will start with the basic kit then wait for a year(if the engine is still intact
) then do the next step. Now I'm already thinking of going back for some add-ons and i just got the car today
Boost is so addicting
half a tank of gas gone in 15 mins of driving
Are we OT now
sorry to the OP

sorry to the OP I know I'm gonna be spending a lot more money supporting this habit. A new front bumper for my FMIC and new clutch and flywheel will be my next steps.Oops, I think we did kinda jack the OP's thread but we are on topic though. We ar talking about the cost of going FI!

Can anyone give me an approximate number of how much it would cost to build the engine? Thanks

If you keep the power levels to about 375whp-400whp, your stock block will be happier in the long run.
If you decide to build the engine, a good shortblock is between $3300-$3900, depending on the components used. It's the supporting, safety, and labor costs that really start to add up.
Are you planning on doing the installation yourself?
Still on the topic of going FI and the supporting items needed, I just purchased this today.....
