Stock internals in a JDM B18B motor -- 9.5lbs right now. ARP head bolts though, head started lifting from the block with the stock bolts.
So picked up the kit for $700 took it to JE Import performance they told me I got the kit for a steal seeing how it is using a Garrett T28. They also told me that I do have the piggy back computer but the recommend me going OBD1 with Hondata S300 they priced the Hondata at $495, $90 to install and three hours of dyno tuning at $525. Are these prices steep? Also I will post pictures of the kits later.

White. I already have some white LEDs in my cluster now (can be seen in my build thread). But I want that true backlit look to them. Hopefully this solves the problems.
So i'm looking into a new FMIC because the one the guy gave me is jacked but the EDELBROCK replacement it $715 so I searched up Johnnyracecar.com but the site does not work im looking to stay in the $200 range any suggestions??

I guess no suggestions on the intercooler. So as a update I talked to another local tuner and he gave me an awsome price on S300. He also was talking to me about my goals he said that 300whp is no problem but he recommended Supertech pistons and Manley H rods, also said that resleeving is not required until I start hitting the 350-400whp range. Anyone have any feedback on these pistons and rods?
