H/C all the way dude. I wouldn't recommend painting the car just to get to school and have some kid scratch it for you.

I vote heads and cam. One reason my turbo project has taken so long is because i've been building it on a college budget. My car was a heads/cam car my first year of school. Smart thing would have been to leave it that way till I graduate....but noooooo...I had to be dumb. Now, its had about 7k miles on it in the past 3 years and i've had to buy a daily driver.

on the other hand. turbos are totally worth it

For best college results I vote:

1) Nitrous system - best bang for the buck
2) Custom beer keg refrigerator
3) Case of condoms
4) 1 set each: black satin sheets, red satin sheets
5) ScotchGuard for your car seats

You will be the Big Man On Campus! The car looks fine already.

I would find a used supercharger kit. I wish I had these ideas when I was building my motor.
