yah the clutch will also be changed. probably a spec stage 3 and a new plate for the fidanza. and no i never dyno'd my car, the last few parts were supposed to be the last then i was gonna take it for a custom tune by sam but low compression made me decide to go all the way and just forge the damn thing and make some real power. but my guess is it was around 210 horspower with the unichip

Sam quoted me ABOUT 500$ for block work, and ABOUT 250 for 5 angle valve job. But going to be upbradeing all my oil lines so when i do upgrade to a GT30 i dont need to upgrade the lines
Without a "hook up" 400+ is not out of the question to have the blocked bathed/honed/align honed/blue printed and painted. Which is what he does on every block that goes out the door.
understood, i wasnt knocking his price at all. i wouldnt pay it mainly because im doing the paintwork, sourcing the machine shop (probably automotive machine) that includes everything above accept painting, wich is free to me. i thinks his price is pretty fair, i wouldnt do it for any less myself.

If I have any extra cash I'm going to get the awr deep swamp oil pan aswell
You mean deep sump? That suckers especially nice when you do any form of road racing ie AutoX. It is a baffled pan if im not mistaken which helps against oil starvation.If I have any extra cash I'm going to get the awr deep swamp oil pan aswell

i paid 400 without a hook up for my machine work which was
*Wash
*Bore .020 Over
*Hone
*remove freeze plugs
*wash again
*Put in new freeze plugs
*Wash head
*3 Angle Valve Job
*New valve seals put in
*Shim Cams
i thought that was super expensive at the time but i guess not lol the 3 angle valve job itself was $125

Forgot about the freeze plugs and what not. 400 for all that is an excellent price.
