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?

Re: What to do with 9K? 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.
Re: What to do with 9K? I like what my money just bought me! Check my Sig for how it produced <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Very reliable set-up. I love it!

Re: What to do with 9K? 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

Re: What to do with 9K? 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" />

Re: What to do with 9K? 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.

Re: What to do with 9K? 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
Re: What to do with 9K? 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.
