Exactly, but re-read this thread and tell me if the OP seems like he can either afford to, or will do it, the "right" way the first time. A budget build of boost on a non-boosted motor often ends in a second "repair" budget.

In reality there is no "budget/cheap" way to get a reliable 300whp. You gotta pay to play. Do it right or do it twice.

Id bet you'll run out of fuel on the SR 370s around 10, maybe 12 lbs, with a T25 on KA, a small boost spike can cause that enough, when you consider you have to pay a decent bit for a tune, it just makes sense to get a quality set of 550's
Austin, its all going to be as reliable as the quality of the parts, and how well its put together.
I drove my SR straight to indianapolis, and stopped in atlanta on the way back, a few days after assembling the engine, straight trip with only stopping for gas and drive-thru food.
Yet you say an SR cant be reliable, it's all in the quality of the parts, and assembly.

I never said an sr is unreliable. Its just easier for me to get parts for the ka and having more experince with a ka that makes me lean towards a ka. As far as parts go i was plannig on doing a megan manifold and down pipe, a rebuilt t28, 550s at tommy's recomendation, arp head studs, oem rebuild and tune up, and il proble have martin tune it regardless.

Dump the t28 for a 50 trim imo and go top mount with a cast or log manifold. Megan is trash and will crack on you. The extra $200 will go a long way. Spend your money on quality injectors, a good tune, and a good cooling system.

actually i would not do any of this.. i would take that money and put it into a money market and then when turn 35 years old, I would take it out and buy an R35 or ZR1 or something like that. But hey hind sight is 20/20.

^ haha awesome. For real though 240's in general suck. Nobody should ever spend more than 10-12k on one (including the price of the vehicle).

Well, in a perfect world 10k should get you an unmolested chassis, full suspension and 300-350whp
