[natef420]

well now that im back to working everyday and making that paper again, after the body work is all done im gonna start in on the motor. here is my plans so far. im curious about what kind of hp its gonna produce. any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.

bored .100
howell bottom end rebuild kit
port and polished head
valve job
cower cams
aem cam gears
msd distributer and ignition
venom fuel pump, fuel rail, and injectors
bored tb
port and polished intake manifold
venom nitrous setup
hahn stage 2 turbo w/ fmic
3 inch exhaust
trans lab shift kit

now i realize that its gonna take about 2 years to be able to get all this done, but i think it will be worth it in the end. if anyone has anything to add to this or whatever, please do.

Good luck with it and post back when u get it done . I am thinking of doing almost the exact same thing but i am 17 years old and still in school and don't have the cash$$

i doubt the performance gain will be anywere near worth it, and borin it out .100, you ever thought threw overheating issues?

I have heard alot about the aem cam gears sliping in high horse power app. because they only have 3 bolts to clap it down and that dose not give enough clapping power to hold in a high hp app. you should see how fast you are without nitrous because after the re-build and turbo kit you will have all the power you will need and your going to need a big clutch to hold all of that power and a good tuning system to manage all of your power. HRC runs 11's with no nitrous and no head work so how fast do you really want to be?

its an automatic and will have the translab shift kit. im going though the pain in the ass to do the tranny swap. im not in any big hurry to get shit done, because thats when things go wrong. im just gonna take my time and do it right like ive done the body. i know i'll have to upgrade the cooling system as well. and honestly man i dont see my car getting anywhere near 11's. maybee high 13's at the most. it really dont matter to me what numbers it hits. i just want to know the power is there when i need it. its gonna be more of a show car anyway.

Here what I suggest you do instead of getting all that stuff. Get the turbo kit first and perhaps an exhuast. Then keep on hoarding engine parts while using the turbo. Then when the turbo blows your engine (hell it might not if you treat it well) get it rebuilt with all the goodies you've been saving up. sux to have an engine rebuilt and all that work done to it for no reason.

you say you wanted to rebuild your tranny. I just got done rebuilding my engine and I suggest you get some kinda of LSD like a phantom grip, SID, or quaife. Whatever one you can afford I got the slip in diff realy cheap 150 this'll help get the power the ground.
