we could do BBK full with port, injectors, fmic, piping, ported intake manifold tbody, and exhaust manifold... leaves room for some suspension work too

That doesn't sound too bad. Those are the next ideal upgrades.

I would do a FP Red or Green, injectors and an Aquamist Kit along with cams if you dont already have them

This assumes you have all the Buschur Stage IV equivalent parts already

Are you refering to the parts listed leading to the BR stage IV?

Blow the motor. That'll cost you big.

The CBRD route sounds good to me.

Yes.

Over years of experience Buschur has set up the Stages 1 through 4 to work in a logical progression

I am not saying you have to buy Buschur parts per say - for example you can subistitute one good fmic for another in most cases

My point is to work through the staged upgrade path steop by step - this way you dont waste any money and you get performance that builds and works as a system

I have seen that in these economic hard times customers who are investing in performance modifications are seeking to engage in a constructive process which reduces stress and provides satisfaction and can give you a daily dose of enjoyment as you drive your car

Blowing $5K is not how I look at it

If you choose your parts wisely and get good combinations that work well together the expenditure will reward you with years of enjoyment

To me really Blowing $5K was the contributions I used to make to my 401K plan which went from a high of $45,000 and is now values at $1,250 as of today.

When I was a younger guy I had a big score and "invested in a slightly used 1991 BMW M5" - best money I ever spent. The only regret I ever had was selling it - stupidest move I ever made.

You won't find too many people on their death beds who are saying

"Man I wish I didn't buy that Ferrari so I could have donated more of my assets to my heirs"

You only live once. Enjoy owning a fast responsive car before Obama and Peloci ourlaw the process.

Sounds like a great path.

I have not had one customer who went with the red who was disappointed with anything but having to wait to get one.

May I suggest a good alcohol injection kit such as Aquamist - that will allow you to really enoy the red with big boost in a very safe manner.
