I am wanting to get a WS6 and after i get that i will have around 20k-30k to spend on aftermarket. I want a bad *** street racing car i was just wonder how to do so and how much power is too much in you oppinion?

 

I would go with a nitrated block, lunatti 383 kit, a good set of high flowing heads with comp cams 921 kit, a g5x3 cam, and then a 200-300 shot of juice. Dont forget all the little things like an electric water pump, harland sharp rockers, maybe get ferarra(sp?) valves, asp pulley. Then you would need a nice 9inch rear, and I would go with a hotchkis tvs suspension and unbolt the front swaybar at the track. Some et streets on Bogarts would be nice too. It would be hard to say what hp/tq numbers that this setup would put down, but respectively I would say 650-700 rwhp. I could definatly be wrong, but that is a guess. If I had 20-30 grand to spend on my Z I would do this. It would not be the best daily driver in the world, but lord would it be loud, fast and intimdating with it being in a full street trim.

how much is too much really depends on the driver.
realisticly not everyone has the skill to drive a 700+rwhp monster.
if you have that kind of green to drop at one time then you should be in talks with one of the many great builders in here...
futural has been putting out monsters, and i am sure they would be happy to show you what a street monster feels like b4 you drop the money on one.
and they are more then ready to set you car up just the way you want....

IMHO
a fully streetable 500+ hp 408 with a 200 shot on top,
bullit proof drivetrain,
fully adjustable suspension
with role cage and full chasis upgrades

could be had for that price. as long as you know what you want before you start. and dont have to spend $$$ finding just the right combo.

and i'd wadger it would keep a grin on your face that a blowtourch couldn't take off

 

alright sweet. as of right now lol i cant hardly get the grin of my face driving my stocker. I wanna go up to IRP soon and see what kinda quarter i can run. thx for the advice, i am a semi-new driver (18) so idk how much hp i would need/want lol. I was in semore indiana the other night and it was awsome t tops off and this punk in a tuned civic rolled up on this 3 or 4 mile street with an idea of "racing" me. but i just shut him down and got around 130ish

 

Just get a 03-04 cobra and put a KB Blower and you will have nothing to worry about.

 

at 18 and a semi new driver stock is all the power you need

 

Yeah, really man. You should drive around stock for a while, get an exhaust and lid, but you need to know how to handle your car before your go making tons of power.

 

mti superstroker!!! get the 427!!! 600 hp!!! get that!! not to mention a new high strength tranny, and a 12 bolt rear end. That would own on the street!!!

 

 

My Lord it must be nice to have 20-30k to spend on mods at the age of 18.

 

well i am gonna be working to protect my country which includes all of you brains...dont you think i deserve a little power once i get home lol?

 

errr...you didn't say it was an LT1. get out of the LS1 section newbie

they have a section for you people!!


i'm just messin with ya man. i just got out of the army, what branch are you in?

 

holy crap 18 years old with that much money to put into an ls1, ok i'll go get the body bag, anyone wana help me did the hole?

but if thats what you want man with that much money just go to a good shop tell them what you want tell them how much dough you got and they'll tell you when do you want this sir? is now good for you?

 

I'm in the Military. Your telling me your getting a 25-30k signing bonus? I find that hard to believe really. Even if it was that high, you wouldn't get all that up front. They would pay ya so much every year. But hey, I may be wrong. I got 12k when I joined the AF. Got half up front then the rest in increments throughout my service every year.

 

Alright well first i am in a lt1 right now but i am steping up to a ls1. what i am goin to do is finance my car right before i leave then send my paycheck home for my parents to pay it for me then once i get out bam i gotta nice paid car. Not sure right now what the signing bonus is.

 

Basic suspension &DR's so the car can handle it's 300hp, save the majority of the $$ in case you don't react enough or over react in a situation. If the car survives about a year, then I would worry about going faster since you will probably know your car by then and have a good idea of what you want from it.
New driver+stock suspension+more power=1 less soldier, sorry man, but these 3 factors are really against you.
have fun with whatever you choose

bbb....bbbb....but the cobras want me to came and play lol

 

If you got that much money to play with I would sugest that you enroll in a diving school. Something like the Roy Hill or something like that. Or you could just make a nice down payment on a house. Damn that sounds like what my mom told me when I graduated. Anyway good luck with the car.

 

I agree get used to stock before you go kill yourself. After driving around for awhile you will no the strengths and weakness and then future mods can build it up where it needs it.
