Hey all,
So...i picked something up this past week. Kinda got it by accident. You see, I USED to drive a 1986 silverado monster truck (6-8mpg) and i was getting sick of it. Well, it sat on craigslist for about 6 months. Nothing. Lucky me though, the guy that sold it too me really wanted it back so he put his car on craigslist. What car did he put on craiglist?... a 1998 gsx. Not have a clue about the car i figure, whatever, at least it'll get better gas mileage. So we traded. Then i took the car for a drive. All i have to say is Whoa! Even bone stock at about 180hp at the wheels this thing is an absolute blast to drive. A whole new world of underground car enthusiasm has been opened up to me and im soaking it all up. Ive stayed glued to the message boards for about 4 days now and i have a pretty good idea what im going for. Dont get me wrong, im not new to the wrench(owned a 05 rc ram and did a viper swap). Just new to the tune. I know rwhp isnt even comparable to awhp. Either way heres what i want. RELIABLE 93oct 400-500awhp/cold AC/clean stock interior(black and grey what what?!?) Ive already accepted the fact that i'll need a stroker(prolly from JAM) reworked heads, 4 bolt diff, and beefed up trans. My noob question to everyone is: What else can i buy to stock pile up that will work with my goals? I plan to drop the motor/trans once my bike gets sold. 2011 all black z1000. Things got more torque than a vrod. But nevermind that. I wanna start slowly massing parts. Cant wait to bust open the old toolbox. I look forward to the progress. And lastly, it feels really good to tell everyone that my mitsubishi eclipse has more american parts in it than their 5.0l mustank.
