from what I have heard the .63 Precision outflows the .63 Garrett by quite a bit or you could do a .82 garrett...

no head work at the moment, however, with the numbers I'm dreaming up, I would of course do some.

Precision's .63 housing is also only available as a 5 bolt though if I remember right.

that will waken up the power a bit. Help that motor flow a bit more
All a motor really is, is a big air pump.

I contacted FP about their upgrade. In the meantime, I guess doing headwork is first, before I stroke. =|

Also, just emailed shep for a trans rebuild.. gonna need that.

Jim whats your plans for the car? You never track it or race it do you? You going to start now that you plan on making some power?
For a street car I would do a 2.3 with a FP red or black on e85. I think that would be a blast to drive!

Yea.. I guess I could start tracking, but really I just want a fun as hell street car. I'm not into launching and all that. I'm actually more interested in tracking. Not so much drag.

Well yea I wouldn't do one without the other.. planning on throwing it all in at the same time. Long block + turbo.

... I've messaged buschur.

Even more of a reason I would go with a black. a nice Buschur 2.3 with a FPblack would be perfect for street/strip/road racing... Stay away from going any bigger than that 35r

On the other hand though, since it's not my DD.. I kinda want a ridiculous amount of HP.......... that' why I was thinking of upgrading the 35r and just sticking with this. Don't need a drag monster, but bumping over 600hp would be peachy for me.
