Well it seems you have yourself a nice plan there. And atleast you got the money to rebuild the engine when the gasket goes, you must not have many bills like the rest of us, LOL.

yeah my bills are pretty easy, 335 car payment, 180 month insurance, 45 cell phone, my credit card is like 400 with gas food and other crap, i help pay for cable, and i also pay for my gym membership which i never use. Thats about it though, i can tell you though i have saved a ton doing the installs and not paying labor. Im 6k deep into it rate now
damn boys, some one has a loaded wallet loaded wallet ftw
Yeah i wish, i have a spare head that i can port myself and get decked at a shop, the cams are 300, the springs and retainers are 450, balnce shafts are 380, i will port the intake myself, pistons are 650, cometic gasket is 100, and so are the studs. I also have to get my rods honed for the pistons so so more cash. But hopefully not tell next year or two. I want to start saving for a house or condo.
what do u guys mean by running x amount of timing? I do not understand
Ignition timing in an internal combustion engine is the process of setting the time that a spark will occur in the combustion chamber (during the power stroke) relative to piston position and crankshaft angular velocity.
from wiki, basically there is a happy point when you run race gas or meth were your car will stop making power you like to find that and keep it around there on high octane. It will make more power this way.
Maybe Mom and Dad will let me and the Wifey move back in, I couldnt imagine having over $1000 to spend on my car per month, LOL.
well im not that loaded i take home about 1400 a month, but i also put a couple hundred in stocks and 401k that is taken from my check automatically. So i have about 2k in the 401k and 1k in stock

Thats pretty good money for your age. And its good you're putting money into stock and 401k, it is well worth it. Between me and my Wife we bring home about $4200 per month, but the bills are what kills us. We have too many CC's and a couple personal loans out.

Yeah well my employer best buy has unbelieveable stock options and 401k is good to so my dad said you need to do this so i put 5% of my check to one and 5% to the other. With the 401k i put in 5% they match 4% so its actually like i almost put in double what i put in and stock i get to buy at the lowest selling point either at the begining or end plus 15% below that. So its a win win, becuase even if it is lower at the end i still get 15% off and if it was higher at the end say it started at $30 and ended at $40 i buy it for 25 and make instant cash
Yeah thats what I used to do when I worked at Walmart. I loved their stock and 401k. Plus with their 401k, you were fully invested after 7 years of working there. One of my good friends used to work at Best Buy but only part-time, he said he enjoyed it, and I enjoy my CC from there, LOL.

If you blow the head gasket, I would pull the head, have it ported, then install a copper shim/gasket, with ARP Fasteners.
I built a 10.2 second Nissan 240 , and a few other imports. Its very easy to make them fast as hell, but performance parts are marked up too dam high for smaller cars.
The main problems were broken pistons,blown head gaskets, spun axles ,smoked clutches in the tranny and warranty claims denied.
