So which route and whom should I go with? So heres the scenario and my ideas. Recently purchased a home after saving 30k to put as a down payment. I was fortunate enough to get an fha loan on the house meaning I only need to invest 8k into my house. Long story short I have a good bit of play money and wanna build my car correctly. Atm I'm looking at short blocks from dss racing and or modmax racing. I'm pretty much wanting what any other 2v gt owner needs the whole forged bottom end. I don't wanna do anything crazy I want reasonable, driveable, and reliable. As of now I got 100k on the original motor, its got all the basic bolt on's minus headers and u/d pullies and transmission is ok for now.
Goals with the car, just occasional track use maybe 5/6 times a year. looking for low 12's on a drag radial I wanna avoid slicks and 4/5k launches. I'm guessin that can be obtained if I can make 400/450ish horsepower. I'm sure ill need a power adder I was leaning toward the nitrous route like a zex wet kit maybe dumping a 125/150 shot in it. I'd like a little expansion as well later down the line in case I'm not satisfied with 400/450 hp whichever I get close. Expansion meaning maybe throw a trickflow top end kit on the motor later down the road or run a different cam.
Anyways I guess what I'm asking is to school me which is gonna be the best and most viable route. Budget I'm not to worried about but I'd expect to spend around 5/6k? This is my first build that I'm actually getting into with more than just bolt ons I just wanna do it right, Which I'm sure the first mistake is staying with the 2v
.
Thanks in advance.
