Thanks for the reference. I have another year of warranty I want to get through, but after that plan on some upgrades. So definitely will look into these two

If you could throw 10K at an M8 engine. What would you do? Must include labor.
if you have a 114 M8 engine, you can bump it to the 131 using the kit plus clutch upgrade. Wait for the 20% off performance work that lots of dealers do in the off season and you can get it all done for about $5k.

Where do you get that price? I have the 128 kit, aim clutch and srpings, High flow injectors, and porting added to my cart and it comes to 2800 bucks. No exhaust or tuner or throttle body. Throttle body would add another 700+ to the total.

That also doesn't include cam shaft, lifters, and pushrods

Cam, fuel pump, and everything else. Throttle body, exhaust and tune would me extra of course, I meant just the kit.

if you’re in California do some research on a man named Chris Rivas. He’s out of fresno. He does bad *** builds at very good prices
