Work out where you want to end up - then work out the best way to get there.And when you make the decision - do it - with no regrets and no second guessing.Personally - I wouldn't even bother doing the valves myself, let alone worry about the tool to do it. Have got more things to worry about than, in 6 months time, trying to get the tuner to fix something that wasn't his issue to start with. Far too many variables in a build to add my own flavour to the broth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can save a lot of money doing the basics my self . I actually like working on my car .it is great fun . maybe you should try it ,its not that hard .best of all it is rewarding in the end Edited 16/03/15 11:15 AM by genuine honest person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only listened to peoples comments ,which are great info by the way . I have done what everyone said buy a fg long engine . then they said the 6 speed would be the go instead of the BTR ,so I listened . I am just trying to get the best for my money .try asking a tuner to give you information about building a fast car ,they will tell you hand over the cash and we will do it for you .I have not got that sort of money available .you do not get much for $17000-$20000 if a performance shop has to do all the work . sorry the ute is only a toy for the weekend .so I am building it for powercruise events and that sort of thing .,may even take it on the track every now and then to lake side race way and QLD track for some fun .
