I'm living proof you can burn a lot of money with any engine. The time frame on my build is a bit skewed because of 2 things:

1. I'm a dumb animal
2. I LOVE jumping down black holes like it's a never ending ride.

Every time I turn around I find another item that needs 200-500 minimum. Funny that you guys are talking rear diff, I'll use that as my example.

My vaporware should make some big power after I dial it in. With that in mind... I need a rear diff that can handle BIG POWER. Here's the rabbit hole:

Winters Quick change - Fully built to handle 2k hp. <--- this is the tip of the sword of what I own.

Known hole:
MA Motorsports rear subframe w/ SPL bushings
MA Motorsports Anti Squat
CF Drive shaft
DSS Drive Shaft

Unknown(ish) hole
Rear coils (need corner weight)
SPL rear stuff... I'll look at Jobby's car. lol
Powder coating?

Thank fully I'm going to settle on running power this year (hopefully). Get a drive shaft and hook it up as is for a shake down.

Main point here... I was just showing a rabbit hole and how you can lose yourself when you start throwing around big HP.
LOL, you are not done yet. If you can get all your gauges working and everything else. Then it will be a proper build. Finish it up and then I will tell you what I think.

Boys boys, let’s just settle this like immature men shall we?

when gbrettin’s z is done y’all need to attend a 1/2 mile event and see who’s got the fastest time and trap speed….

I think I speak for everyone here when I saw I’d love to see that. Loser has to put a sticker on his windshield that says “i shoulda got a v8/or I shoulda gone TT”. And keep it on there until the next zdayz.

Why does it always have to be this way. I have no issues with an LS swap that is done right. I hope he completes his dream build and enjoys the hell out of it. I could care less about being the fastest. Not my thang.

I was thinking more of a fun event for boosted cars opening the taps. I'm not putting a sticker on my car if I lose. lol.

My build is a personal journey of what I can do from the ground up AND something I can share with the community for ideas in general. From what I gather your build is something similar; however, I haven't read your whole thread and only read a small excerpts here and there.

I did find it laughable that the hang-up to consider a build a "build" are functional gauges. However, that's you're opinion and you're entitled to that.

--- Edit

I'm not going to bring this topic up in here further. It detracts from the thread as a whole.
