With the engine rebuild and the powder coating, it's only going to cost me $1300. I might just cough up the extra dough and get the Cometic head gaskets too.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

I'm going to sell some of my parts off of the Eclipse so I can get some cash for the rebuild. I'm going to try and get Eagle H beam rods too.

Those rods should hold up fine to 500hp. Spend the $270 on the forged pistons and go with the compacted graphite head gaskets. Mustang guys are running into the 9's on them and they're like $15 each

I get off work at noon today, have a meeting with the sheet metal dude about the porsche, then pickup my lady at 3:30 most likely i'll make it there well before 6. If not i'll just cruise by your house and pick the stuff up, so no big deal.
