Uh oh...I just bought another TURBO :D

Heh the motor im building will actually take around 10K RPMs....its just the transmission that wont shift that high so thats why im limited to 8500RPM.

Nope, no crank walk.....6 bolt engine

Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!

I figured it would be a DSM once the hint of AWD, 4cyl, and 8500 rpms came up.
Traction may not be a problem, but breaking driveline parts may be. How will you build the driveline up to handle the power?
And what displacement will the engine be?

Well im going to put a stout clutch in it LOL...it has the 4 bolt rearend, so the only realy weak point is the transmission. No high RPM drops in 1st gear for this car....its just going to be daily driven 90% highway.
2.0L block bored .020 over...8.5-1 compression.

If you are gonna run Mustang rims, you could at least pick better looking ones!!

These babys are FREE...came off my dads 00 V6. Ill change them when I can find some lighter rims for cheap. Im not going for looks in this car...all about being light as I can. Thats for 2 things. 1st that means it will get better milage. 2nd that means it will be faster.

So I called DSM, what do I win Cody? lol... I know LOTS of DSM guys, they are quick cars and will run a number for sure! ...that is...when they are running Honestly though, I think I know maybe 10 guys with FAST (under 11.5) DSM's and 8/10 of them are broken 7-8 months a year

A big grin?

Thing is, MOST owners beat the everliving CRAP out of these cars. Atleast all the owners I know haha. People LOVE doing clutch dropping in them, and usually thats where the parts breakage comes from....lots of stress. They also have small problems that are annoying, and people put them up until they can fix the issues.
In anycase they have HUGE followings on very active forums....so if something happens, chances are its already been documented. Ill also be buying a Haynes manual
