And the rest I have yet to get. But the total with parts and labor came out to around $6k. Judging from a buddies similar build I should be putting around 310 hp and 340 torque at the flywheel. Motor is backed by a TKO600 5 speed.


I'm not picking at your build TJ, but just think, after spending $6000 bucks, you just barely ended up with more HP than an $800 bone stock 4200 makes, just think if you threw the remaining $5200 difference at the 4200 where you'd be. Wow, i'm starting to sound like Marc now! LOL
