If I were you I would give the money to johnjib bcuz he needs it more. Yeah maybe. 15k dude? I would be the happiest man in the world. In my situation I would build the motor, build a strong solid rear, build the transmission, pimp my ride w/a nice hood and rims. What are you wanting from your ride?
hahahahah at least your supercharger is on!!!


if it were me:
i'd pay my car off and use the rest on a built 304..and sell my S trim for a JT-trim

Save the money and realize car parts are the last thing you should spend $15 grand on (assuming you're not some filthy rich millionaire who has more money than he knows what to do with).

What are you wanting to improve on your car? Are you a drag racer, auto-x'er, or a open tracker? Makes all the difference in the world on where you start your mods.

the hp kit comes with both the injectors and svt focus pump. as for tranny issues you are right.
yeah but dude, consider a built motor and a turbo. thats easy 600rwhp.

a single focus pump ain't handling anywhere near that, nor are 03 injectors.

Three Options:

1. Pull motor, change Pistons/Rods to boost friendly CR & Billet Rods, slap a TT Kit, up-grade fuel system.

2. Keep current combo, up-grade Nitrous to custome direct port, get a K-Member/Coil Overs. Rest of cash, for tools, and stuff like that.

3. Keep current combo. Purchase 89-93 LX Coupe, Dart IE block, 408CI, o/a 11.0CR, AFR 205s or 220 Heads, Auto Trany, Carb, 250 Shot of the juice. Will be my street bruisier!

Sell your car, and put that money plus the $15 toward a C5 Z06, save about $1000 for a nice 125hp nitrous setup for it though.

A friend of mine ran his C5 on a 125 shot for 2 YEARS, and ran consistant 6.80-6.90's in the 1/8th. It didn't blow till he stepped the shot up higher.

For 15 grand definitely a full build big-bore 304, ported heads cams and some sort of power adder. Most likely turbos.

lol, 15gs isnt gonna get you that... I spent a little over 12gs on my tt kit, installed and everything with a crap load of extras.
