Whats up everyone. Its been a while since I've posted, but I thought it was about time I came back around & let everyone know what I've had on my plate. I finally decided it was time to step things up a notch. Thanks to a buddy of mine, I now have a new big bucket o' parts in the garage for the coupe.






He gave me a killer deal on this Paxton Novi 1000 kit. Its 100% ready to bolt up, & all I will need is injectors, maf, & a better fuel pump. I still have to fix a few things on my car before this all goes on, & it will most likely be after Xmas before I do so, but after that we will see how long I can get my hypereutectic bottom end to last with some boost.

I plan on running a stock pulley until I can afford to build a forged motor, but I figure with my 300 rwhp HCI setup, this should make for a pretty fun car. I know its just a lil' Novi 1000, but it should make plenty enough power for me.

I guess a nice set of DR's better be my next purchase because traction will most likely be an issue LOL... atriot:

Nice numbers. Im hoping mine will put out around the same, since my NA numbers are 300/320. Im shooting for the lowest amount of boost I can make since I have a stock hypereutectic (spelling?) bottom end...

I like the whistling white power bros name LOL...

If your gonna stay NA, a stock block will easily hold the power, plus it will be lighter. You coming up to Sac?

D@mn!!! I didn't know Dart blocks were that much heavier? 100 lbs will definitely make a huge difference.

Stock block is 95 lbs, and a dart block is 170lbs. Plus a forged crank is 46lbs. Stock is 35. So if i add the dart its adding 100lbs, if i stick with the stock block and go aluminum heads and move the battery and gut the front bumper i can lose 100lbs and cut the total car weight to 2829
