I just got it and it has an intake DC Sport Headers and a full exhaust already. What are a few minor things I can do to make it pick up some torque. It seems to lag on that side but horsepower is awsome. Also this guy I know is selling a LS VTec Engine built from the ground up w/ a supercharger that is brand new and has about 600HP for $4000. Should I go for it or keep my GSR engine w/ 85000 miles on it?

Definately just do a turbo set up on your own car. 600hp out of an LS with blower.....highly questionable. Just boost your own engine and have fun with that.

P.S. You have a DC Sports header....just one.

Hmm an LS/VTEC with a blower running at 600hp... for only $4000..??

A full buildup from the ground up was part of that? I seriously doubt it... Here is some pricing to help you see why...

JRSC Blower Kit - used around $3K or so...
LS shortblock - used $300 (and this is a good price)
GSR Head - used $1K built
770 Injectors in order to fuel that kind of HP - new $100 ea
Block resleeve to handle the power - $1K
Rods - $500
Pistons - $400
P/P on head to flow the required air - $900
Balance crank to handle the power - $150
new oil pump gear cause the honda one woulda blew up - $200
Kamakazie header to flow that kind of combustion - $300
Endyn work to the blower to be able to pump that much air - $1500


Should I go on?? If he is selling a 600HP motor for $4000 and has the dyno charts to prove it and someone that KNOWS what they are looking at says its good then it might be worth buying...

well i have no idea if he gets this shit hot or he just did it for fun. and about the exhaust......my friend got pulled over for his exhaust and the cop gave him a ticket. I heard about some switch that kinda muffles your exhaust so it doesnt sound loud and when u wanna race u turn it on to gain the HP. If anyone knows where to get this let me know.

i got a muffler from midas. its made for lighttrucks. but i got the one that had the least restrictions.
its called RAVEN and midas did ALOT of research for these fuckers.
i seen dyno charts from trucks mind you but the midas one beats out flowmaster.
it is 100% legal!
i got it at cost for about 60 bucks. cuz of a hookup.
but if the cops hassle u just show them the fuckin receipt.
i cant wait for some dickhead to hassle me about it and then tell them i bought it at midas. im 99% sure if they sell it at midas it has got to be streetable. cuz they wont even touch ur cat over their.
my shit looks 100% stock
except the pipeing is a little bigger.
