Default thoughts?

Wow i've been away from this forums so long and thought i would update you guys on the car and take some suggestions, well I backed the car up into a pole so I took it to mexico had them paint it pitch black, Fixed every dent in it and put stock side skirts back on it so pretty much made it back to a stock gt "look" i havnt bought the new exhuast for it so I dont drive it untill the first and I can afford the new exhuast going on to it and then the black wheels will come.

Now that I have the car looking descent I want to do some real performance mods And Im looking to run spray on this car probably a 75-100 shot not constantly but just track visits and a couple of times in the street lol how could I strengthen my motor to handle the nx and not blow so i could run it "safelty" i.e. what parts to buy?

The motor will be fine with a 75-100 shot. Just make sure to run the correct plugs, and have it tuned.

I would include a window switch too.

if you are worried it will blow look into building up your shortblock or just buy a new forged one from a place like mmr.

If everything is in good working order it will be fine. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get diagnostic/compression test to see where your at.
