His budget builds are as good as the weakest part you have him leave in there. The premium rebuild is still a nice deal for stock, stage I, or II rebuilds.

Nate how about you... budget stage 1s?
I am doing stage 1s this spring/summer right after I do my IC and I am just concerned with overhauling injectors and having problems with them 10k down the road.
I understand he flow tests them before he sends them out, but since its used parts that part could give out sooner than you'd expect.
Then you are stuck with some weird running problem and probably wouldnt think of injectors till last since you had them done recently..
Im just wondering.
Probably a question i should email Jim lol
