This is gonna be a beast. Was your car already boosted? What turbo goodies are you running? Is it a custom kit?

I have a set of Cams coming from TTC performance (Cowboybebop)

The other thing that is happening is that the pistons will get antifriction coating on the side skirt and a heat dispersant coating on the dome.

Changing all the valve seals on the head.

Getting some stuff ceramic coated and adding a little bling to the engine compartment. But that is still in process so no pics yet.

Shooting for about 600+ whp. the boost will be up to whatever we can tune it to with the existing setup. I am using twin t3/t4's. Current management system is an Autronic SM4.

The car already has a TT setup which is custom. Here is a thread with a list of goodies on it. And some pics.

Yup, they all will be "HAD" with the price of all this. lol. Just wanna keep this baby going since I bought it new in December 1997. It's been with me too long for me just to give up.

I bought a spare bottom end from Adesai8. He is a good guy to deal with.

The tranny I bought from Aliga, so this is a whole new tranny that will go into the car. I still have my original tranny in it with no problems and it has an upgraded valve body in it!!
