    agreed, if you want tons of power on the street, nitrous isnt for you, get a vortech.

    another 306?/ DSS short block users

    x2c is 1000 dollars cheaper, has a new block (dss is used), and forged crank (dss is cast). pretty big difference IMHO.

    OT: I got a job!!!

    ugh... 1000 dollars is like a drop of water in the ocean when it comes to a duke tuition... oh well, it'll be worth it when i get into a good law school, planning on keeping the cobra as a race car and having a porsche as a daily driver.

    another 306?/ DSS short block users

    coast high performance seems another popular choice for engine building. im probably going to with an x2c short block soon, 2200 bucks for a 331, new block, all forged. doesent seem like you can go wrong with DSS however.

    another fan of nitrous here. just make sure to go with colder plugs and lower timing, i run a 125 shot with no problems. as long as you dont use it all the time you wont put excessive wear on your engine.

    How much for a 94-95 cobra?

    for reference i bought my '94 with 122,000 miles but in very very good shape. a friend of mine who doesent know jack about cars thought it was a 2000+ based on how nicely kept up it was. i paid 8,800 for the car because it had a lot of mild mods i would have done anyway, and it would have cost...
