no it's not him, this shop had quite a few choices when it came to engine internals, mostly in kits. priced alright too. all i can remember was they were in clearwater, and had sumthin' like 4 generations of stangs on their homepage.

If you are talking about need-4-speed.com, steer clear. Their prices are outrageous and they are not up front with them.

Well justin doesnt do any work but sell some parts and mainly is a tuner and one of the best around too. I think he is SCT's #2 highest dealer last year.

Me i wouldnt go to some shop that only does v6's i would go pull the motor and have it cleaned and washed, and checked out then order parts as needed. I mean the 3.8 is just a simple pushrod motor. Like a smaller 302.

yea i've checked vmp's site out a couple times, and ordered some fog lights from them, very good customer service and everything was included in it, but anyways, i'm just looking for parts for my motor. i kno a guy that can do the engine work, i just want to check around on the parts. see if i have enough money to build the engine w/forged internals and do a poweradder, or just go for power adder but run low boost. but anywho, supersixmotorsports.com has a nice selection, and i kinda like vmp's procharger setup, anyone have any input on either of those 2, or anymore sites/shops?

hell yea. that's actually what i'm going for. i want to be able to hit the 300 HP mark just on motor. then a little later down the road i'd like to s/c or turbo it. then i'd hope to be around the 400 HP mark. and i'm telling myself i'm down modding the car...






















...so after that want to put a small 50 shot of nos on it.
