Dude people are gonna see you a mile away. Why don't you just wear some neon signs while you're at it?

With that being said 37k should buy you one hell of a car. A lot more than what you have listed as long as you talk to the right guys. And with that being said! What he said^^^^^

I do like the dragon slayed crank though. It must not be as expensive as the callies dragon slayer crank.

I would imagine a stock V on slicks should be able to pull a 2.5.

I have some thoughts on this and will shoot you a note. You will not get 850 RWHP without nitrous using a TVS2300. Not even close. You might with a Whipple though. Then again, are you serious?

Maybe with the $37k you can do a transmission swap so you'll have a man pedal.

i parked my V for the time being and have been driving my aurora. the v is probably going to rot to nothingness because i really have no interest in driving a manual ever again. my left knee finally feels pretty good.


this should subside in like 12 minutes

I know people went up to 1000 HP with it. Cars like the TVS.

Do you want to run nitrous? If not you will need a whipple or twin turbos. Yes there are other possiable tricks you could do to meet your 2.5 sec 0-60 goal but not get you 850 whp. Ie big stall, monster gear, slicks. You WILL NOT SEE 850whp from a 2300. Just camm the mfg.
