Go buy you a Subaru with a big loud chrome muffler and make sure you get the factory option for mounting a Dominios Pizza sign. Then you run around and sound loud betweeen deliveries.

I was at the same point. My wife was in love with the M3 because she liked the seats. Well I figured for the price difference between a new M3 and my camaro I could put together a fun car. Recaros were the first mod then the motor, rear end, rebuilt trans, clutch twice, stereo, vacum pump, 102/102 intake and now a mafless tune. I don't think I will ever get bored now.

When it comes to added power....Forced Induction. A nice pro charger with intercooler will add about 40% power and you can get away with just doing a cam swap. Although, the pro charger kit will cost you around $6k.

right now, im trying to model the Mr luos trans am while modelthe boosted 408 build

if i ever finish and ever get bored... by then ill be out of law school and then i can buy new toys...

its a never ending cycle for most
you just need to decide FOR YOURSELF what you want to do.

but you basically have 2 options
improve what you have or get something different
....or both haha

Instead of more power, maybe try turning corners? Hit up a local autocross.

Getting bored with cars and/or setups seems to be a real problem for many around here. I am thankful and consider myself lucky that this has never been much of an issue for me.

You should get into some kind of organized racing, drag or auto x that will give some direction and purpose to what you do. If that is not what you like, then sell your car.

Don't do anything that isn't going to be done right.
