were way past that...please dont start it up again lol
sounds sick man....and i know what you mean with the $$ thing...im going with full forged 4.3 with stage 2+ heads and intake, 218/224 blower cam, ported/2.93 pullied m112 with silencer ports welded up. car has no dead weight in it now, so it should do pretty damn good for a v6
not really, its just junk right now. I went to grad school so no $$$, pretty much just in a holding pattern right. I think Ill start on the block this summer, pretty sure im gonna stick 5.4 displacement, not gonna bore it. I change my mind on stuff .... daily.... so right now all I know is Im sure of its that going to be a single turbo car, I sold two blowers already just changing my mind, but I just decided go big or go home, so im not gonna play around, just wait till I can get what I want - cant type... need sleeeeeeeeep

Meh, really i'm not all that big on the mod. motor either. You can make power out of it and it's a decent daily driver even the 2v imho, but i don't know how to build them. i've never torn a Mod. engine apart, or a OHC design engine for that matter. i've got something else in the works though, a 347 project. I just need to get the body straightened out and primed, it's going in a New edge body style. You don't really see a lot of 347s in a new edge, atleast i haven't.
I'm thinking of just building something all out track, drag suspension, prostars, etc. it's just one of those dreams i've always had and hopefully by the end of this next year it should come true. I've got the parts to build the engine at hand, but i want to do it with someone who really knows his stuff and he's not coming from vacation until late february. Once he comes, then i'll find out what numbers i'm going to be looking at. The body is getting worked on as I speak. I've always wanted to cheap out on paint jobs but i'm gonna do it right this time. I spent nearly 5,000 dollars on this paint job (I got it bullitt green) and the guy is letting me store it at his place until april or so.
Just need more $$$ to meet my goals.

the goals on my next car will be stupid... dyno queen goals anyway, I doubt Ill ever run it that high, I have no death wish. I went for a ride in my buddys whipple cobra, he said it put down 680rwhp... I wasnt scared by it... however he did take to 160 in a 35... but just to avoid too much rambling I think that anything more than 500-600 is suicidal on the street (if you intend to use it)
