Whats up guys? Today i threw a rod and I'm undecided of what direction I wanna go. The current setup is awd swapped auto spyder. Has a sinister OG 8" core 1 so its very loose for a street car but makes for a lot of fun to launch. Motor was a wiseco piston eagle rod manley crank build but I've had problems with the motor from day 1 so I never expected it to last long.
So now I'm at the fork in the road and idk if I wanna build it up again and continue to shoot for a 600hp street/show car or if I just wanna throw in a stock rebuilt motor downgrade everything like the converter to stock converter go from t3 60mm turbo to something smaller like a hta86 on e85 that I can possibly spool up on the stock converter.
So I'm coming to you guys to get your thoughts on what you would do in my situation. Recently I have made alot of cosmetic changes to the car and its heading towards more of a show car and getting further away from a very clean/mint street/drag car that i originally intended. I just don't know what to do. I know either way I probably won't be happy cause if I downgrade ill be bored with it and itll feel so slow but if I build it again I hate the constant maintenance upkeep and issues that come with a 600+hp daily driven street car.
So whats your thoughts?
Here's a couple pics of the car currently. I have wheels ordered and on the way and was planning on paint soon until this whole disaster happened.
wheels pictured aren't wheels i will be ruining they were just for mock up to get an idea of what offset i would need
