Im on my 2nd motor now, and really really cant afford to let another one go, I got too much other shit to save for. What are you running for tuning?

Whats the cost of that? done and finished. and how often do you have to send it in and get it retuned? I worry about changing things and then having to spend another 300 to get it retuned...

My setup will end up being a built bottom end, a moderately built (rebuilt) topend, z32, S14 T28( gt2871 eventually), 740cc injectors, Greddy FMIC, exhaust, walbro 255, and all the other supporting mods that go with the above.

I just dont know what I want to do to keep this thing in check
Depends on a couple of things. What do type of driving? Track or just spirited street driving? You should really invest in gauges that was the #1 fault of mine. Went with autometer, that POS failed me. Going with Powered by Max, they have new electronic meters, which looks pretty good.... Meters are your friend. Meters should check oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil temp, and coolant temps.

If you go to the track, swirl pot for the fuel, swirl pot for the coolant, oil cooler, accusump, and greddy pan.

Other than that just check ups on your car often and get a good tune aka SteveShadows....
