first cheap mods
hey guys. my overall plan for my car is to get a built engine and drop a twin turbo setup in it, and get a T-56 transmtion. most of the intake work is suplied with the turbo kit, and the T-56 defeats the point of getting gears. I'm looking to get a bit more power for now that will not get un-done by my total project....... so what items can be done that will not inhibit my over all work? any ideas?

how much I want, or am going to spend? think I priced everything out to be around 28k: including stereo, tools, parts, and some labor that I just can not do my self.
the suspension is mostly planned out. saleen to the extreme kit, then play with a few things that it does not intale. the TT kit will be about all I need, but want power now Torinalth

a short throw shifter ( steeda or pro 5.0 is what a suggest) is always a good place to start. Exhaust is a universial part also mufflers and x or h pipe ( depending on what mufflers you get).

thing is I dont want to get the muffler till I have power behind it, dont want to sound mean and not back it up. the X/H will be dependant on the header length of the turbo modual.....
the shifter would be a waste till I got the t-56, or I'd end up buying two....... maybe there really are NO mods I can do that will not get replaced later. sigh..... guess suspension or go strait to turbo. Torinalth

I would say just yank the 4cycle engine totally... it's a waste of space... I would put in a Binford 6000 Nitro Turbine Drive with Enchanced Dual Left Handed Rotating Oscillators... more power!!!! awh awh awhh awhhh awhh!!!!!
TT sounds like a fun way to go, lotta money... lotta fun!! good luck
