Reprogrammed ECU...$500 (ouch! JWT don't hurt me!)

Look hard enough, you can get them for less even. But so what. VG's are strong, toss in sealed power ring set, pull it apart , hatch-hone the bores and rering that thing. Heads can always be done after it's in there.

hmmm...dunno about that man, trust me I've been looking for the past year(till I scratched the plan), most of the complete used $500 models haven't been LD tested or have some too "unreliable" low cylinder compression(like ~120-130s)!

You're right, but you take your chances ya know? I'm trying to be optomistic. I really want a vgt max bad. Maybe I should just build a race car. If I didn't have student loans to pay back I'd be there! Damn education. Sallie Mae, suck this
