I wouldn't trust 'two weeks' from FP ever. They make awesome products, but there's a reason I bought a BBK (well, several).

400whp on a street car is perfect imho, more than that and you're starting to just get silly, start chasing numbers, and spend a lot of money. I wish you would have just kept the red until you had the black in-hand (or in transit), making a ton of changes all at once is never a good idea (IMHO).

I honestly had no intentions of really changing my car for a while, i was happy with it, it still wasn't perfect, but i was happy. The motor blew up so I didn't have a choice but to upgrade it some since I had to spend a lot of money on labor anyway.

The only reason I changed out from the red to the black was because i had to pay for the turbo swap in a sense already, so I was trying to piggy back costs. Personally i think I could've hit 475whp with my build on the red with the head work, new cams, new bov etc. But I knew it would only be a matter of time before i wanted a bit more. This build will put me as far as I go though. I think
