So you're 15 years old?

Or you've been a car enthusiast for 15 years?

Or both?

Both I'd Say

I'll have to say this... it's gonna blow up. I'll also say this... don't let that discourage you. I probably smoked 10 motors before I had my license, learn from every disaster, allow it to temper you. 😃 it will be good for you in the end. Welcome to the car crazy, bone headed, money wasting club😜

If you're running these, don't forget to use a resistor box! You'll cook your ECU injector drivers otherwise!

Read up on the difference between saturated (high impedance) vs peak and hold (low impedance) injectors to learn about why you need to run one.

Hint, DSM injectors of the turbo eclipse/talon era are all peak and hold.

Both I'd Say

If you really are 15 years old, and you've done enough research and reading to assemble the build list you've put together, and doing things by yourself, im impressed.

Most 15 yrs olds cant find their ass out of a Roblox game.

Have you acquired any of the above listed parts yet? Or is that a shopping list of future items to get?

To quote @Oldcivicjoe's post above, welcome to said club.

I promise if you keep your head in this world long enough, you'll stay clean and out of drugs and dumb shit, mainly because you won't have money for drugs, and all your time will be spent under your hood lol.

Have fun above all else! Remember, if your having fun and your passionate about it, staying happy and bettering yourself (gaining valuable skills, etc.) while you're at it, its NEVER a waste of money. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just because THEY wouldnt have spent money on it, doesnt mean it wasnt worthwhile.

Welcome! And definitely you are in a much better place than I was at 15.

Yeah I looked a lot into it since I got some from my uncle and got the resistor box, wired them up and everything just need it to be tuned so I'm learning how to read all my tables currently

I bought all these already and plan on building the valvetrain next year with all supertech valves, springs, and retainers then maybe going with a delta cam

That's awesome. I'm happy to see you are doing something fun and constructive. Best of luck with your ride.

Keep at it kid. I just got done helping my 16-year-old put a 5.3 LS in his 68 Chevy pickup, that he bought and paid for himself. It amazes me when I talk to the kids his age what a difference it has made in his maturity having an actual hobby that’s worthwhile. Stick with it it’s definitely worth it.
