is the car auto or 6spd? is it going to be tracked or street only?

either way you would want to look into a decent set of heads and cam, and maybe a used FAST 90 or 92. if it's an auto a stall is in order, i'd recommend yank. if it's a 6spd you'd need a clutch. i went with a RAM twin disk this last time, i'll let you know how it holds up in a week or two. tires will also need to be considered for your application. and so would suspension, especially if you're gonna track the car.

As long as you "have control" of the car, you're all good.

Where did you copy & paste those mods from?

No I know Chris. I used to work with him. Heads and Cam are definitely a must if you want to get close to that kind of power.
