There is more mis-informed nonsense bullshit in this thread than I have seen in a while. I wish I was the mod of this forum I would delete all the retarded posts so that the original poster could get an actual answer.

I still don't have the light to light speed that I want, but I do have the mpg again and the car seems to handle better. Next to go into the car will be skunk2 throttle body, aem fuel rail and Skunk2 fuel regulator. Shop is saying this should give me an extra 20-30 hp. Anyone know id f this is right, or if the shop is just trying to stroke me for more money?

why did you avoid the bottom end?
You should do a slight overbore and put in some type R pistons and rings.
With this set-up,you'll have a complete engine. As it is now,only half the
work is done. I'm surprised the shop you had the work done didn't realize
this. My son did the same thing, and his car is a rocket.
