And you're right... I figure its a $13k-$14k motor stock, and with the cam, springs, and roller rockers, and rocker boxes... I got at least $15k on the motor alone, with nothing on the either head ports.
13-14 stock is the part that gets me lol, way over-priced.


my mistake, always thought of mobil 1 as the company, never realized it was just "mobil" and mobil 1 is their synth. but i dont use mobil anyway. i use valvoline racing dino stuff. but i change the oil way more than any1 one here. so synth would be a total waste 4me.
