I don't think it will have a lot of rumble with the Tomei equal length headers. But it should still sound good.

Hmmm...What? No meth kit? Come on, Matt, you are getting soft on us! I hope you are upgrading the transmission accordingly to handle all the power as well.

But seriously, should be a fun little set up. Can't wait to see it. Keep us posted!

Cause that block is not new and it needed work, I also wanted to do my own build. Not bashing GST or cosworth lol

O'rly? I give you 2 or 3 months before you get used to the power and than think of putting meth, race fuel or nitrous in that beast

Yeah, not questioning that one. I've seen couple built motors that run GT30R and FP Red turbos and they are insane...a GT35s are even more monstrous...I hope you got a DD cause you are about to become oil companies' favorite person

Oh yeah, and why the 2.0 heads? Why not a 2.5 head if its a 2.5 block?
