Ahhh ok, well that makes sense then.
I just kinda figured you were a girl because of the Avatar and the text on your sig pic.


Matt I found your spoiler on CL last night when I was searching on Searchtempest.
I thought it was a great idea, its just too damn bad I dont like the 99/00 post spacing.

Koni Blues on eibach springs for now until I can afford tubular suspension. Gt sway bar. wish I could add a front sway bar, but I feel like the blower will be in the way lol. Cobra brake upgrade.

WP - You can make your power easy with the set up you have in mind. The 4.2L opens up a lot of tq, and responds to the M112 very well. Shoot, good heads and cam on the 3.8L and you'll see 350 rwhp. Coming from a bolt on 3.8L, that will be a WORLD of difference in power. You'll be smiles for a long time.

The other thing to consider about the 'peak' power the bottom end will take is how often are you seeing it in a street car? Never? To avoid breaking stuff, don't drop the clutch and go wide open to the top of the RPM range. It's that easy. You'll make plenty of power in the low and mid RPM range - which is where you want it for street driving.

And for Alex - After our talk last night, I'm alive and posting tonight. But I almost didn't make it.
Can you see it here?









No, ok how about now? Better?
