Re: Best bang for buck

I really love it when someone tells me I CAN'T do it. Not just a chip a new cam and intake. 30 hp is not unrealistic and in truth all I am looking to do is bridge the gap in the powerband. 30-50 is a goal. I am now thinking of calling in a favor and having the heads done for free. It is amazing what you can do for barter and being buddies with the guys at the parts house! 600 is also a reasonable number to start at when you turn the wrench yourself. Also take this for another example: the truck in question is being painted debeer's special black. The truck is immaculate on the outside. Roughly a 3500 paint job. All I had to do is rebuild a tractor, redo the injectors and install the injector pump. EASY! Next I have to replace the timing belt and water pump in a Toyota Tacoma for him. No parts or labor cost to me for my paint or for tractor parts. Barter it's the best way to go. Hence that's why I set my price at 600. I like coming to this site because of the excellent info saves time and money.Heck everyone who contributes Barters!!
