Spoolude owns him, and the best I have seen spoolude run is a 15.5 in the 1/4.

[weshole]

Not trying to insult anyone but a bud of mine has a full dress 89 firebird w/vortec heads on a 400 that is consistent 13flat in the quarter. That tank weighs 3800 lbs. There aint no trickery in what he did to his car either. Nova, sounds like you need more than just gears. Sounds like a little tuning is in order. Like I said, I'm not trying to piss anyone off so don't take it the wrong way nova. But if you do have vortec's on that puppy, you should be ahellova lot faster than that.

Yes, if it makes some of you feel better I will add in a word in the original statement.

*...having many cam *lobes ** is not special anymore.

How about a Yugo with a 4g63T and FWD driveline fabbed in? I just think that would be fun......if not hilarious.

My car's getting there, but spending less than 1500 bucks is almost gone.
So far...
1990 Probe $450
Greddy Type RS BOV $175
Intercooler Bends and piping $150
Battery cable for relocation $20
Manual Boost controller $35
ACT 2100 Clutch Kit $325

Have to do:
FMIC $200
Manifold and flywheel Planing $75

This leave me with 70 dollars for random blots/paint/whatever. GOod luck to all competitors.

But joel, the rules were that it needed to start out life non-turbo...sorry.

[PSiedTSi]

he was actually allowed in chuck...he was approved

[Guest]

thats right...since he started w/ such a POS to begin with, we bent the rules, I forgot.

[weshole]

That sux that a turbo car was allowed in. I was going to enter my 200.00 buick in that i bought when i worked at the junkyard.

[Guest]

he still has to stay under $1500 though...which he won't be able to I don't think.

[94NDTA]

I wanted to enter my Parissienne....but it has a V8

[weshole]

Well if he goes over by even a penny, then he's out. Got that Joel? I'm going to leave mine fully dressed.

This is very true Joel so watch out.

I'm doing good so far:
$50 1989 Acura Integra LS
$100 Exedy Clutch/Pressure plate
$75 HKS Head gasket for boost apps.
$50 Bondo, tools/Random junk

I bet I come out of this with the cheepest car. I'm trying for the most bang for the buck. Joel your doing great though! Good work so far.
