If you don't believe me, call one of them, tell them your mods and how much you want to make and say you are going to be tracking it pretty good. I have a feeling they will say the same things that we are. Either build the internals of the block first, then go for all the power you want, or save up until you have enough to do it all at once. In the mean time, get yourself some suspension mods so you can have some fun and tear up the track, and then cash in on some big parts when you have enough money.

I won't comment anymore on what you want to do, and it is your money and you should do what makes you happy. All I was ever trying to get across is how ****ty you will feel if you just spent over 4k (most likely with that mod list) and then you blow it up and have to spend that again just to replace the longblock you trashed. I always air on the side of caution with these cars, I think it is a good idea. Don't you?
**** that. Go big or go home Eric. Give it the beans. Josh had promise as far as being the first X longblock Coffee Table conversion but why let him be the first?

What the hell Life is short. Esspecially for race car drivers.

for the first couple months people thought i either dealt drugs or had a magic money tree growing out back of my house.

i used to like to keep it discreet about my profession, it often lead to a lot of awkward conversations. but now i am long past the point of giving a rat's ***.

that's actually how i really learned to program well was by doing that.

However I really think you should aim higher. 638WHP would be a really good start.
Great goal. A sense of humor is key in this thread .

Go ahead man, build it! You will either set a good example or a terrible warning of the 4B11's hp capacity. Either way just as long as you enjoy the results

yeah, the production side is a pain. 2257 regulations are draconian and annoying, models are flaky, photogs are expensive, and local obscenity regulations make it tough to produce in a lot of areas.

think high powered affiliate marketing.

eh it's not as exciting as you might think. lots of programming mainly. ultimately the product doesn't matter though, the profit does. if bibles had the same markup as adult entertainment i would be slanging the king james version like rocks.

that's what's up though man. egg rolls, pr0n, womens shoes, doesn't matter. whatever makes your money.
