Hey Grant, I know what you mean when you talk about going over budget. My engine buildert spent about 70% more than I had planned. he also built the motor (1340 HP) for my prostock Ford Probe (

The worst part is that I also have to pay import duties to the Aruba government when I import all the Cobra stuff. This is ussually between 22.5% to 30% of the value including shipping and insurance. Thats what really sucks.
take care
Andre
