This is killing me, the temptation is too great. I keep rolling the thought of building a drag only car. I'm already steeped into building Natalies Prelude, but its all her money going into that. I don't really have the cash to go all out on another car right now, but there have been some shells on CL that are reasonably priced and I could spend a couple years building it. But, the fact is I shouldn't. My brain is hurting just thinking about it.

I'm going to sell my RV here in a couple weeks but I need to put that cash back into another RV. Otherwise there'd be no point in selling that. I know I've got my priorities, but it's so damned tempting. I just had to vent it, sorry guys. /ENDRANT

Put excess money into a very low risk account. Edward Jones or some shit.

put a homemade turbo kit on your daily driver, that's what got most of us out of the 'scene'

I'm already on that road David, remember? y7 @ 10psi = 196Hp 206Tq

Thats honestly about as far as I want to take my coupe. Otherwise I'd start getting into trouble and I'm too old and have a CDL to think about in that respect.

How'd you get so much torque?

T-25 acounts for most of it. Pretty much spools instantly :)
Everything else was tuning from Tobi. Not sure but I think he did alot on the timing side. He did 2 tuning sessions on it. First was a really good basic tune on Bears dyno. Second was a fine tune on his dyno.
Hence the Sig

Everybody always has more torque than I did. I hate cars even more now because of your thread. Thanks.
