But We dont need 1000 HP to break past 10 second quarter miles. And we can cut 1.8 60' times on street tires ;)

What is the formula for doing a 10.7? $7-8,000 and then just a bigger turbo and a retune and your in the 9's... yeah DSMs FTL.... :right:

More like diamond. When you first find it, its crap, looks ugly, and more than likely wouldn't even be a second though on most people's minds. But us, we're the diamond cutters. We take that raw diamond, cut it, shape it, shine it, and set it in one heck of a ring. Then, people start to stare at our work, and its beauty.

Advice? I think I speak for all of us when I say, hope your pockets make the Grand Canyon look like a puddle! Also, unless you are fabricating everything yourself, you may want to buy lube. It makes it hurt less when you get raped by the prices people will be charging you. But, alas, if you are one of the lucky few people in this world where money TRULY is not a problem cause you have so much you could wipe your arse with 100's all day, then go ahead.

Although, since you are deciding you want to commit to this great undertaking, be a pal and document it. Others will want to know what needs to be done, what it will cost, and how long it will take, as well as ways you made stuff fit/work that is out of the norm.

And best of luck!
