You said it Piston. You're car isn't setup for the best 1/4 you can get.

By going with a drag setup instead of the rest of your suspension, axxing the 18" rims in favor of some 16" drag radial setup, you could have trimmed $3000 from your budget. Also in your case, I think you got hosed about $1000 on the tranny. They aren't that hard to install and I doubt you even need it. The T-5 should take 12's with just a shifter and no slicks duty. That could have saved you another $2000.

All in all I'm sure you could be going just as fast as you are now, actually faster for $6000 less. You've invested in other aspects of your car too though. There isn't anything wrong with that, it's just we're trying to give Andrew the best cheap go fast combo possible. Putting 18" rims and road race suspension on his car isn't gonna help. He doesn't need a new tranny, so that isn't a factor either. Basically he can nix the engine mods in favor of N20 for immediate bang for the buck.

Just differences on how you and him go about getting there.
