Well it depends on the set up you want. All motor? Forced Induction? Or regular specs just to replace the old with new pistons at stock?

Well hey thats not a bad idea man. I'm goin all motor. Get higher compression pistons (11:1) so that way u don't have to use racing gas. Port and polish head, valve angle job, skunk 2's camshaft and cam gears, and i would get a skunk 2 valve train and the manifold. Reprogram your ecu. Well thats just some just to give you an idea.

Heres my set up that i'm plannin to do:

Skunk 2 camshaft (possibly a stage 2)
Skunk 2 cam gears
ITR or Skunk 2 valvetrain
reprogram my ecu (mugen chipped )
ITR or Edelbrock manifold
Jdm 4-1 headers
CTR pistons
Port and Polish head / valve job
ITR or CTR lsd
act clutch stage 2
7.9 lb flywheel or 11lb.

All that above should cost around like 2500 - 4100.Anyways that set up i have above should be a good mid to high 12's or low 13's with upgraded clutch and flywheel and lsd.

a machine shop for the machining, ring compressor, ring filer, torque wrench, sandpaper(put a nice crosshatch on the walls and debur thsoe valve reliefs), feeler gauge set, platigauge strips, a lot of assembly lube, etc....pretty much more than the usual I/H/E guy can handle
