    you said the motor was built already? i'm sure there is a lot more that can be done. with 3k you can see it up to 450+hp or more. but i wouldn't go that far for a street car though. maybe around 400 would be enough but thats the highest i personally would go.
    Thats pretty much where I'm around. Like I said I don't wanna go much more extreme on power to keep it driveable and emissions legal.

    if that is the case, i'd straight bank that money and let it sit and build interest.

    LOL I know. I was just debating it cause I am about to get the car painted and wanted to make sure it was ready so I didn't have to take it to paint twice. I've decided to not go with the CF and do other things.
