Alright, here is a good question maybe too much to ask. I have a 93 gt 5 spd with 164000 miles on it. I am going to dump $10K into it and i am wondering what the best way to spend that is. I dont want to set it up for drag i want the typical street setup that will do me well in my aspirations for racing in American Iron. Thank you for your input.

Read up on people's combo's around here....i suggest you wait a good month or two before you spend a penny. Research is a good thing, or you will end up pennyless with little to show.

I agree, figure out exactly what you want and talk to people with similar combos and take a ride in their car if you can. 10k will go pretty far, but the $ will go quick if you dont have a plan. Having a good combo depends on the parts working together. You could buy all top quality stuff but if its not matched, you wont reach your potential. If i had 10k though...

Tremec TKO
Dart/A4 block
306 or 331
Turbo
maximum motorsports grip in a box

and of course rims and body stuff.

Good luck and run a search on here about specific parts, i'm sure you'll find some good info

a lot of it depends on your ability as well. Will you do the work yourself or pay a shop or individual to do it for you? What things do you for sure need to replace on the car? Do you wanna buy a short block, or do you plan to build from your existing block?

And definately check around at other people's combo's and do some price research for the best prices.

You can buy some pretty nice built 5.0's for 10 grand...
