lets start from the beginning.........bought the car for $2k owned the car ONE DAY fucked up a crank bearing......got a used engine with 88k for $500, put that in....engine purred like a kitten

drove the car for one day after the engine install and.....transmission locked up....got a rebuilt one $700, put that in......

lets recap.....
car - 2,000
engine - 500
trans. - 700

TOTAL $3,200

no the car is running and driving great, i've got the car prepped for paint and i was gonna paint it the next day and BOOM a goddamn F-250 with a ranch-hand bumper decided to hit me at about 30mph....FUCKED MY SHIT UP!!! did i mention it was a hit and run.....

my car is totaled but it still drives and everything, im working on fixing it and turning it into a sleeper...my goal is about 275hp at the wheels....im currently about 100hp away from my goal....any tips would be appreciated....Hopefully getting the cold air intake for Christmas

You can easily get 275whp out of this car, I am currently making mine about 350whp. go to contour.org Supercharge it or Turbo it. I'm putting in a Focus Turbo, but lots of mods required. Sucks what happened. I hate hit and runs.

Actually no i found these wheels on a 92 Mustang LX and they fit perfect, except the tire rubed so much that i had to put low profile Rapter 205/50ZR16's on and still if I have like 4 people in my car taking a corner they still rub a little. But yes these 6cylenders really go i almost beat the firebird, that car is also on my page if u havent seen it yet. so they got balls man.

Thanks for the comment, how would i go about optimizing the TB??? Good luck with getting 350hp out of it. Is it a 2.0, 2.5, or a 3.0 in you're car?
