Right now I haven't purchased a single thing for the motor. That wont start happening till the end of the month. I'm hoping to have the motor assemble by the end of october, then start working on getting the external parts peice together.
Apexi is the end-all for head gaskets. That little shop in Orlando puts 45psi through them.
For 300whp, just run a stock one. Hey, I've got a new stock one sitting right here for free! Stock headbolts never did me wrong, even at 430whp and 20+psi. They're $80 for the set at the Nissan parts counter, or ~$40 plus shipping from The Nismo Store (west covina). Merry Christmas. I just saved you ~$400.
