Which is why God later created smaller supercharger pulleys


It doesn't matter how much power you make, eventually if you drive it enough you get used to it.

Try doing an HCI and getting bored with it a month later.

throw your money at the suspension. taking corners at 55mph and being able to stop in a few car lengths never gets old.

Well i plan on gt40 heads and e303 cam here VERY soon as my valve seals are getting a little leaky , smokes a bit at start up and when i rev after letting it idle it blows some smoke out but not when on the throttle and not when cruising. ANY WAYS. I have motorsport high rise intake mani holley 650 4 barrel carb with mechanical secondaries. long tube headers spec clutch and pressure plate and aluminum flywheel, and a few small other things. I think gt40 and e303 cam ill be very happy.

Yeah, TFS Stage 1 like mentioned is better (split duration) vs. the FRPP alphabet cams. When my cars feel slower I tend to spend money on them. That's all you need to do. I'm a Vortech fan and pretty much put one of these on everything.

Amen. good car control never gets old and is tons of fun, that is what separates the men from the boys in my book. used to love autocross/track days. fast down the straight, find the braking point, rev match the gears has you go down, smooth into the turn, back onto the throttle coming out, a little oversteer, some opposite lock and throttle control to get it back and then hard on the gas...oooh yeah them good times any day.

I can from the nissan family built a ka-t s12, only swap of its kinda because it was an se. Had a 240 and a dsm, The dsm I loved the most. So i know the whole corners thing. I plan on sliding my fox-body . The torque is just AMAZINGGGG for sliding. Low rpm drifting is sooo much funner than revving the **** out of a car . I hate that i feel like im breaking the car haha.

I would skip the GT40 heads if you're not on a tight budget. They increase the power some but not like a good set of aluminum aftermarkets. As for me with my GT40's... Boost can fix the issue hehe

the trickflow top end kit is the best way to really squeeze the most out of a stock block. its pricey, but EVERYTHING is there in one box.
