There is always racestars also. Can have a whole set with tires for about $950 if look hard enough.

i'm with you on this. i want to get some 410s, DRs, and a tune. **** the car went 8.29 in the heat. i think it would go 12.30s or so at a 1/4 track with those mods listed. i think your **** would easily go low low 12s with some practice.

i need to race in good weather. although, i said i wasn't gonna **** with this car, but i've already got the itch to do some work.

because you can flog the **** out of it day after day, get 20+ mpg, enjoy a/c, cd player, power everything etc etc etc. and do it over and over and over. you can make pulls on the street, row some gears and not go mach ***** in a few seconds, you know the car isn't going to skate across 4 lanes at wot from 25, and you can do it over and over. check the oil, fill the gas. repeat.

i love my slowass car. granted, i will have something that'll pucker an ******* quick, but in due time. right now i am content beating up new camaros and other cars that make more power and have a payment comparable to my mortgage.

You will get more fun out of the rear IMO. Leaving at RPMs is fun. Would the T56 hold up to high RPM launches? I really need to weld my torque boxes and get some full length subframe connectors.

O yeah my t56 is rated at 600tq+- in stock form they are rated at 450tq but you know high miles also kills them.
