Another small update:
1.) Finally placed my order for my short block on Monday. Cant wait to get it and thanks again Paul for the great deal. You gave me one more good reason to go with a sleeved block rather than non-sleeved.
2.) Exhaust still hasnt been welded together. All the the mandrel bent pipes are sitting at my house still along with the CF muffler. Just havent had a chance to get to an exhaust shop yet.

Update:
For anyone that is keeping up with my build, heres a little update. Between yesterday and today iv been ordering some stuff for my new turbo setup.
Ordered:
--Treadstone TR8L Intercooler
--HKS version 3 BOV
--TurboToyotas manifold
--Tial 44mm wastegate
--Custom 3" Downpipe
Getting a little closer to breaking some big numbers. Next buy will probably be Dezod 850cc fuel injectors and IC piping. If you selling something i need for my build let me know and will work something out.

WTF! That's a lil to much I'm sure you can find it cheaper. Find a used one then call up mike (elevationtc), dezod to tune it for you.

As for tuning, Im from Texas. To get tuned by Dezod or Elevation i would have to travel over 1500 miles and 24hrs just to get their. Sure i could fly them out but by the time i by them a round flight ticket and pay for tuning and their expenses to get here, i would have spent the same if not more than i would have for a local tune with T1 Race Development. By the way i was quoted for $700 to get a standalone tuned by them.
If you can find me a good deal for a standalone unit let me know. I may be interested.
