[QUOTE="brkntrxn, post: 8712055, member: 12396"] Glad Donnie got back with you. I was unable to drop by this afternoon, but called and he was working on the quote when we spoke. The quote he gave you sounds pretty much like the engine build he did for me, minus my aftermarket cams and some other stuff. More than likely (and I have no reason to doubt), that quote included removal and reinstall. Check to make sure, but that sounds like the whole deal to me. As for a tune, yes, you should get it tuned. Donnie partners with Dan at ProDyno just south of Charlotte and will take your car to Dan's if you want Dan to tune it (you'll have to work out whether or not you pay Donnie or Dan). Dan tunes a [U]ton[/U] of Mustangs and Cobras and is one of the well known tuners in the Carolinas. I went with Aaron at TruDynoSports over in Conover. I am a very happy customer of his (and Boosted) and highly recommend him. He tunes on a Mustang Dyno, which is more realistic to the loading the car sees on the highways (but your numbers will read lower). Here's a way to think about anything to do with the heads... you might as well since it is off the engine. To do it later (not in conjunction with a motor rebuild) will be much more expensive. In my opinion, any time the engine is out is a good time to have the heads given a once-over. Will you risk any serious damager later? Most likely not, but you might as well do it while it is out. -Kevin [/QUOTE]
