One way to save money, if you're that budget minded, is to do stuff in stages. If you buy one part, then put it on, and keep doing that over and over, you'll go overboard on labor! You put food on the mechanic's plate, though . That's what JCS and I are trying to do. I'm not God, nor do I have his checkbook . I'm not cheap, just frugal. They could tell you I know how to shop. But, billet cams don't really have a loophole on cost, do they? Most of the bolt on mods for a turbo are the same for N/A...it's all for better breathing. If you want to consider a budget for it, saying the turbo route is cheaper, then find a cheaper route on a tranny rebuild for me! Sooner or later, everyone turns up the boost just to see what it does. Larry's deceased-and-resurrected tranny is a perfect example. Heck, if my N/A car breaks the tranny, then I'll have a very good case for the buildup, now won't I ?
