Yeah I have awhile to watch the sales and buy when they offer a good deal, plus I think I can knock a couple hundred dollars off by being able to pick up the trans in person instead of shipping it.

I lucked out there, I live within walking distance of Monster Transmission and I have been talking to them on Facebook about the HP I want and they offered to let me tour the facility and sit down with them to build a trans to handle the power once I get to that point. Now I just need to find...

Thats not a bad deal and i'm not worried about depreciation, I just want to be able to have fun with it for a few years. Eventually I will move into something a bit more expensive and modern. Besides I enjoy putting things together with my own hands so this is more of a get out of the house and...

I dont really have a budget, all I have is the power goal. The idea is that I sit down and figure total costs minus any labor I might need to pay for things that I just cant do on my own and then i'm just going to save and then buy a part and then save some more until I buy another part and...

Thats part of why I wanted to join a forum like this before I bought the car, everyone on here will have better ideas for how to do this stuff than I will. At this point I was just looking to throw in a Ford Performance crate engine but that will run me thousands of dollars and will still need...

Thats what I meant by it taking a very long time, especially since I have to upgrade a lot of things at the same time. The goal started as 1,000HP but i'm afraid that that much HP will be surpassing my ability to drive it daily. I'm not looking for a car that sounds and handles like this one at...

Yeah they really seem to be doing the oil companies a huge favor by making us buy so much more oil everytime it's due for a change, hopefully that will be offset a little by the larger volume of oil. It might have the effect of heating up more slowly and becoming dirty at a much slower rate.

Its going to be an adventure, i'm aiming to break 800HP at the end of it all so its going to take a long time to buy everything. And yeah stage 3 cams mean a mandatory upgrade on the springs, pistons, and a few other things simply due to the much longer travel length on everything. So just to...

Always nice cars but I cant imagine that there would be much left to modify on a car as built as this. Great for someone that wants a nice looking car with tons of power right from the factory though

Going to be seeing one from me here in about 7 months or so, i'm trying to grab a 99-04 GT at tax season and I plan on doing all the mods myself. I have to sit down sometime and make a list of each mod that I need to buy and install and in what order, for instance I wanted to drop in Stage 3...
