what to do now...

Well, my turbo kit is pending to a guy for a reasonable price. So, what do I do now?

Twins? even bigger single? say screw both and go N/A big block?


Lets hear your opinions and maybe I will build what you guys want to see

i made some money on it, yes

now...what to do...what to do...me and viren from vsracing.net have been discussing numerous possibilities. If I end up going through with what me and him were talking about, I will be the only one (afaik) in the country with it, and you guys will either love it or hate it.

actually, IDK that id want to go with another big turbo. I wanted to build something with a usable power curve, the current turbo doesnt start to make power until around 4000+ which is just retarded. Was thinking bigblock just for the fact that i would have a good low-end grunt.

But it sounds like you're looking for a challenge......

My fingers are crossed for the Dart SHP LT1. I dont know what the probability is for this to happen, but I've put my build on hold just to see. 4.125 bore and thicker wall for ~$1500......
