Other Cheaper Mods
So I have full bolt ons w/ cams and injectors…..stock block, stock turbo. My plan is to buy rods then pistons then gradually save up for the install of them. However are there any other "cheaper" mods I can do while saving up for a built block and turbo? Was looking at throttle body or P&P intake manifold. I'm assuming w/ a bigger throttle body I'd need a retune as well….Any ideas or should I just leave it alone and save for the built block and thats it then a turbo? I don't want to go turbo before building the bottom end for reliability reasons.

Take the best tune and let someone grab 5th gear at low speeds and boost the engine and watch it pop. Driver mod can make the worst tuner look great and tarnish the finest tune.

Save for the built block and plan on sleeving it.
While your saving there's plenty of "cheaper" mods you can do along the way. I would definitely look into upgrading the CMC with AMS, SSP, or Magnus prior to or along with your build. Upgraded brake pads, sway bars, endlinks, shifter bushings, short shifter or you could add some show parts.

And how it's driven, when it's driven, and what sounds, gauge readings and feelings the driver is paying attention to.

Driver mod is key as you said.
