You're talking to someone who owns a 2001 z28 m6 that has ~7 years experience in DSM's ranging from changing brakes to complete race motor builds/turbo setups.

Don't be dumb. A fast/fun DSM is not "cheap" if done right and dependable.

I have enough stuff laying around my shop to build about 5 motors. So if you're a real glutton for punishment let me know.
