Best builds are ones done from parts on hand and scrounged from buddies.
More fun and not so harsh on the pocket.
What else ya got planned?

Besides the final tweaks I mentioned above, I think ill be pretty close to my 300hp goal. The PO dynoed the car at 243hp and 248tq I believe, that was with the smaller 14b turbo, janked out intercooler piping, an awful exhaust layout and a really conservative (rich) tune.
Next will be wider (7") wheels and better rubber to quell the wheel spin. It spins through most of 2nd as is.
After that ill probably rock it till I break it.
Anything beyond that will blow my 2500 budget. I know that will eventually happen. I picked up a complete 6bolt 4G63 head for it the other day for 20 bucks.
The Evo 8/9 also use a 4G63 of sorts and you can use the springs & lifters, fancy valves, along with some updated 3mm lifters and some 264 or 272 HKS cams to make a pretty spicy head for these things. That should get it revving to 8K or a little more.
With the car weighing in at 3476 I have around 500lbs on most newer V8's and AWD cars.
The interior.. is another post.
