congrats!


do TONS AND TONS of research... dont start anything until you know a DAMN good and narrow path you want to take with your car...

do you want NA, nitrous, FI...
street friendly, track car, weekend warrior...
drag car, autox, little bit both..
huge cam, small cam
tire size
stall choice
head choice
intake choice

first thing is figure a roundabout budget... dont go out and start a build you will never finish... meaning dont get an ms4 cam if you cant afford the intake to go with it, or if you cant stand to drive 410s and a 4k+ stall...

just take your time and study study study!!!!
