Just motor runs so far. (12.3-12.7) I had a falling out with the shop that did some of my work so I'm still getting the nitrous & safety equipment ironed out. Expensive and time consuming. Roll bar alone is over $1500. So any Jersey guys. Done use all out automotive. They do shotty work.

12.3/12.7's are still very good for NA and a modded 93 though, but I am sure that nitrous is gonna put in some real work.

Aren't all the shops in Joisy crap anyways?

If the stock blocks are good enough as is, is it even worth it to build up the rotating assembly?? or always better to do it before hand anway's to ensure the most protection (loaded question but had to ask). I never built a car like this before. I always threw on a supercharger or gears, a converter before I even touched the motor. Even my 08 was a straight swap when I blew the motor from a Vortech.

It all comes down to budget. I no its never fast enough so i plan on going with a dart block down the road. Id just find a low mile 5.0 and go to town if i was you. Lotta fun to be had before you make enough power to worrying about breaking the block.

Ditto on the never fast enough part.

I know it'll hard to find but I have an image of how I want it to look like. I said it's only a track car but if I can manage one in a decent condition, I may try to keep it street legal.

Hard to come by on my budget, I know.

Always wanted one of those *tears of joy*
