If I saw the end price I probably woudn't have done it!
Nick and Huk, thanks for the info! Do you guys think it would be better to stick with the 440s and just control fuel pressure (I guess I don't need 25psi, maybe 20-22) or try out some 550s or higher and try to tune it to those (Hiboost would be the actual tuner I guess
). I know some of the pros and cons of larger injectors.

Adjustable regulator and about 20psi of boost for now.
Tune the car on a dyno and see what you can squeeze out of what you already have.
I think you will be fine.
how much are you talking about?ddogg777 said:If I saw the end price I probably woudn't have done it!

That's all I can remember now. Close to $20000. But it will be a awesome performer when finished!
you might want some slicks... i think you would need axles for the kind of power you lookin for. even with lsd putting that kind of power to the ground is going to be a little tricky. i am planning something like what you have done for this fall. i'm interested to see your final result.
People have different tastes.. Some buy $30,000 cars and put on $4000 in rims. I bought a cheap car and in the end, it still will be less than a lot of other cars out there. Tell you what, no one will have a car like mine...no one. My custom car computer with 5.1 surround sound and molded indash screen that I did by myself will make sure of that...Micah said:
Call me proud if you want, I just think everyone should use their talents to make them unique and special!

ddogg just be really careful running RC injectors. Call some shops, you will find out that LOTS of them will NOT TOUCH them. RC spends lots of money on advertising so you hear "RC" and think they are kick ass. I have been in the dyno shop alot and seen many many many RCs stick open and or stick shut with lots of power. With the 440s running 15 psi sure youll be ok maybe. Just be careful bud, dont want to see a blown motor. I am glad to see someone go the diff route and really mod the car, most on here dont mod much, they slap on a turbo run 10 psi call it good. I wish I could continue to mod my car, but plans change. Your comment about the car and making it be diff is what I wanted. I think it was mainly because no one is crazy enough to take a grocery getter and make it fast. i wish ya the best of luck bud.

i instant messaged you. i am goin to LA the 10th to visit juan. but hes never sent me his address of his shop, he said hes moving... anyone know where his place is. i can find it if no one has it though.azian6er said:
Well, I finally got my block back from the shop. I had them jet clean it, hone cylinders, magnaflux, balance, and oring. I am not very happy with the jet cleaning process, it still left some rust and junk in the coolant passages. Do you guys think I should get it hot dipped? Or will I get the same result..?
If your worried about your transmission heating up, MCR and Top Secret! Make fluid coolers for them.. I believe they both use Trust parts..get ready for serious money though.
