RE: need help with more power
This is where I get into my rant about how a lot of people who modify their cars, do so in a way, that is more of a setback than anything..
I say this w/ utter confidence, that people like 2000GT4.6 have some of the best points you could make... Why not buy a used 2V, and just slap a S/Cer on there, and then worry about slowly upgrading the rest of the car?? If you're that serious about building the engine/car, then your budget is WELL over $7,000, or you are going to do it slowly methodically, and for a reason.. Making power = costing lots of money..
I only disagree w/ 2000GT4.6's build, because I've never had the same kind of luck he has, in terms of, throw big parts on the engine, and stretch the life of things by not beating on it.. So, instead, I built/replaced everything else first, and now, the car is ready to go fast..

RE: need help with more power
JT - you're absolutly correct. I agree with everything you just said. haha.
Only difference I would've done to 2000's setup is that (unless it's not listed) his internals are stock. Personally, I would've built the interior up more. Although, he seems very content with his setup and that's what counts. I just know boost is addicting, im around 13-14 and I am losing my mind - i want more. haha.
