Okay guys I've been here on tuners for a few years now just sitting back and absorbing the knowledge of some of our more experienced members, but now I feel it's time I contribute a little. Although this is just a simple build thread it will be my first larger contribution to tuners so forgive me if I mess a few things up. So, as the title describes I'm a young gun who just turned 19 back in May. Although I am young I've been around cars all my life (mainly American muscle) and have a decent amount of experience. Also, like my username describes this GSX was my first car when I was 16 and have been working on it ever since so I have about 3 years of experience in the DSM world. When i first got her i went with the typical evo 3 16g build and put down 350awhp and around 380ft lbs of torque but now i want more! My goal for this car is too have a street monster with 500-600awhp to have fun with and also prove to myself and all of the doubters that a young guy can build and finance a high horsepower setup. I've been saving and slowly piecing together parts for this build for over a year and at thus point have most of what I need. One last note the built will be a stroker to give it better streetability (low end torque/spool)
