Default n00b

noobie here. i live in easley, im 18 and i go to phs (male). I drive a 94 A4 ( ) Z28 that currently runs 8.9s. mods so far are...

bored .030 over
edelbrock shorties
BBK 56mm TB
SLP CAI
Edelbrock strut-tower brace
true duals
comp springs good for .600 lift
hypertech tune/shift kit
3.73

cam swap starting this weekend.

completely stock suspension, never had anything but street tires and 2.18 60s.

SS Hood, SS Spoiler, 10 spoke SS wheels, 69 Z/28 emblems

wanting to do more with the car but trying to choose between two different routes.

1. buy a LT1 short block or bare block, build it with all forged internals (maybe 383 or 355, probably stock) and get the LE2 kit to throw on it when its done. run on it for about a month then get a little n20 on top of that. looking for ~410rwhp on motor, 500+ n20. somehow sneak a 6spd in there in the meantime so i can still afford to drive it every day.

2. sell my car (not going to be able to get but about 6500 out of it). try to find a 6spd ellisjuan with some work done to it (preferably head/cam) for somewhere under 15, pull a loan, and make payments. i will be living at home for atleast two years after i graduate so i would be able to handle that. would be looking for somwhere around 425rwhp out of an LS1.

any suggestions, let me know. thanks.

I'm guessing you are talking about 8.9's in the 1/8, right?
Good luck with the cam swap...
And welcome to the site!
