What kind of car did you have prior? Hopefully it had some horsepower because this thing with H/C will be quick. So don't be stupid with it. I got my car stock. One because I haven't owned below a 14.0 sec car prior. Two because I wanted to do all the work myself so i knew it would be done right. And three, to me part of the fun is going from the ground up and creating your own ride just the way you want it. Good luck with your new car and enjoy it bro.

sounds like a good car...give the car a good look through man, bring a friend that has been working/driving these cars for awhile...reason is because if this car was raced, which if it is a h/c car, it has been, you don't want to pick up a car that is about to die.....check the oil sounds obvious, but my friend picked up a h/c camaro and the oil was as dark as night!

german castrol is good stuff. yes you can switch to RP.
if your going twin turbo find out if its a high compression head or not, and what the LSA is for bost you are going to want a 115 or higher

just enjoy it and get comfortable in your new car, see what it can/cant do and what your capable of doing in it before you mod it any further...I would say wait atleast a couple months before doing anything to it. make sure it runs good no overheating problems, etc.
anyways congrats on the new ride

Change all the fluids and enjoy it! If the car has heads and cam then it will be beast! Just make sure the car was dyno tuned properly and makes for a good driver. Post pics when you get it!
