PI head swap. unless the 88 has some mods, it's no faster than your 98.

Yea they're not very attractive cars.

Do a PI swap, nitrous, gears, and buy some drag radials. You'll be ready then

If you're looking to go fast for cheap, get the fox and sell your 98. How much do you think that your 98 would sell for?

get the fox man... are you able to keep your 98 though as the daily driver? then build up the fox.. they are cheap to mod and are power beasts when you get modding them...

slicks, 4.10s, and a 150 shot... that little fox is gonna be one of the fastest cars out there...
