Default What to do with 9K?

I have a TNT F1 kit, SLP LT's, built tranny with a VIG 3200, Borla, lid, Inline pump, SFC's, and LCA's

Car is a daily driver that is used to 1/4 street race and sees the track about 5-6 times a year

What do you suggest?

I would have a custom motor for a BIG Shot of NOS built. One of the Big Bore Darton sleeved blocks with heads and cam, if you have a little extra $$$ still left add a stroker crank.

where can i get a custom built motor from? I am really interested in the JPR 382 Stroker, big cam, and a 150-200 shot

Beard, I want the forgiveness of forged internals, H/C/Nitrous isnt going to last long

Since you said 1/4 street racing go with the stroker motor, not the bore. The bore will make more TQ and thats what you want on the street, after that go with a set of cartek heads and cam. Then if you still have any money left over do something for the looks and apearence of the car. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

If there is a stroker that cheap, I sure want to know! The stage 2 h/c package is $2250. For a total of $6500. Then you still have $$ for tuning, a rearend, suspension, nitrous, or whatever. Do a search and see the torque that motor put out. It's #'s looked like a freakin stroker.

I do a 382 stroker and spray that. The all bores are getting better but it is safer to spray a stock bore. A stroker will also be very friendly as a daily driver with the low end torque. Left over money is spent on a 12 bolt with 3.42s.

What about selling the spray? Go with an ARE built 346 w/ 9:1 compression and stick a S/C kit on it. Not quite as fast as a 200 shot, but the power is always there.

I was considering the all-bore because of the great price from JPR, I know the Cartek built 347 is 6750 and then another 6K for FI, that is getting into alot of money

Give us a call with what you want out of the car and we can setup a package for you. We are doing the Darton sleeves and can get you a setup that will hold your NOS. They are better than stock sleeves. All Bore, offset ground stock crank, 395 CID.
