No matter what you will want to take the heads apart to clean everything, and at that point a valve job is not a bad idea. Another option is cams, as it will never be cheaper than now to install them.

Its really easy to snowball a price fast on an engine build, but the big thing is having a long term goal, and a plan, as that will help guide the build and spend the money in the best places.

So how much boost were you making? -10 psi
How was it tuned and was it tuned after the upgraded impeller? It was tuned with upgraded impeller - I'm 100% the tune is the reason it blew. It was running to lean
What pulley setup did you have on? Stock stillen pulley
What gas were you using? 93 that's all I ever use
What did you have for a fuel system? GTR injectors and walboro fuel pump

That sucks man. What caused it to run so lean? What AFR's were you getting before it popped? I just dont see how any knowledgeable tuner could let it leave their shop while it runs lean.
