buddy off mine has a ls1 s13 already and he gave me someones number he does full mount kits, he is doing my mounts, my headers, my power steering line, and wiring, and yea i'm supper excited about drifting this! i tandem with guys with v8s all the time and they have so much torque to put down when ever they want and i always had to wait for the turbo to spool lol

i still havent decided what size cam i want to run for drifting u know, its kinda hard choosing

It looks like you're off to a good start. We really don't need a billion HP for our cars so maybe you should just go with a mild cam and see how that goes. Hope everything turns out well for you and keep us posted.
