What to buy

94 DropTop · Jan 30, 2008

Well i found out im get about 420 back for my tax return and then im selling my lil ricer turd for around 1500-2000. So what should i spend the money on? I'm def. having my gears, sub-frames, and seats put in but that will only take up my tax return. My plans with some of it would be a n2o wet kit, new tires, and some steeda drag springs. Where do you guys think this stuff will put me at 1/4 wise? my best time to date is a 15.2. I want atleast 13's this year, i think I would probibly just put the rest in savings.

Def. some springs (4x4) with $2000 you can get a top engine kit or a stroker kit

just my .02

The 2nd best bang for the buck in my opinion = supercharger. You can find a used one for under 2,000 in many classifieds. The best bang for the buck is gears of course. I hope I get at least 1,500 from my taxes, I need a paintjob.

are you a auto vert?

15.2 seems slow.

Now that I read your sig, I'll say this. Get the Cobra lower intake ported and get yourself 3.73s at least. The difference will be night and day, and it'll cost you 500/600. Plenty left for springs like mentioned and you can still put almost half of your cash away. Good luck.

yes im an auto vert. i have 4.10's sitting in my room along with the subframes and seats. Im going with the steeda drag spring which will lower the car about .5. I need to find a good price on a stall.

i think there is one on classifieds,dont quote me on that let me look first

nevermind

You're on the right track. I didn't know that any drag springs would drop the car. If I knew I would've got Steeda's instead of Eibach launch kit, my car sits higher than stock.
Port the intake bro, the throttle response is great, plus more HP.

Might want to look into an Edge stall they are not bad priced. When I do my motor I will be in a street edge.

Make sure you do the 4.10's first. If I where you i would do a stall and some n2o and some sticky tires.

Get your stall from SnakedMark8 on here he knows his stuff

A set of AFR 165 heads and a shift kit for your trans. I ran a 14.5 in my gt with just shorty headers, a mac catback, 4.10's, a torsen t2 diff, and the rear seat and spare removed. Now I got a transgo shift kit and a mac pro-chamber and at full weight (spare tire, back seat and trunk full of stuff) I ran 14.9, (couldn't get the tires to hook, too cold out and the track was horrible prepped). With those heads an intake and cam I'd be in the low 13's no prob.

depends on where he is at. sea level, yea thats a little slow...up in the mountains that aint too bad

94 DropTop · Jan 31, 2008

im in kansas. I have not interest in the 165's i want the 185's but i dont have the time to do a heads and cam right now. I probibly wont go afr eather. I was thinking about a 3500 stall but i need to look a lil more into it. This way i can see how far a stock 5.0 can go. I also want to get a zex 100shot in here. hopfully the car might be gone tommorow but i need to figure this stupid starting problem out. I FUCKING HATE IMPORTS.

justinschmidt1 · Jan 31, 2008

you probably should only go 3000 stall on a 5.0 Seems to work the best and keeps you right at the start of the powerband.

3500 is more 4.6 territory.

well i sold the nissan for 1500, so ill spend it when i get back from vegas :banana:

Gears and a convertor. That will take you a long way from where you are now.

94 DropTop · Feb 3, 2008

I already have the gears :thumb: I might not go n2o right now. I need to get under the car and see if the LT headers have to come off to do the converter.
