yea ive seen like 3 or 4 sets on g2ic for like 295 to 350 shipped. so it will end up being like 2 weeks before i can get them, but like u said a lot of people dont have money which means they dont have money to spend either lol. plus some of the ones i saw were like 10.5:1cr lol and thats rediculous on an ls for turbo. im lookin from 9:1-9.5:1.

10.5:1 is very doable on a turbo setup. get a good tune, and youre golden with crazy boost madness

really? i thought thatd be a little high for a turbo set up. i know higher cr puts out higher hp but damn lol.

na ive already got my mind set. im not going to pay 350 for a set of rods only to have them sit around and take up space. im going to put them to use, so im getting pistons for them, and the right bearings because slow boy racing doesnt know a type r or gsr from an ls and apparently a dseries from a bseries.

slowboy racing is nothing mor than an internet merchant who have a hardon for dsm products, but decided to branch out and overprice their chinese turbos with re-worked american turbo parts on the compressor side, and mark them up 90% from china with $30 invested on top of initial purchase
