I can allready see for my purpouses, the best scenario is to Get a Bullet proof long Block built and get some sort of stand alone efi system and appropriate washtub size turbo. Allthough I will leave all that stuff in tact (factory efi harness)to use by someone else down the line if desired...- Phartsmellar

I was able to get a change order on the 9" ford to a 3.55 Gear, That being said, Is it that a Turbo Car Likes being lugged down so to speak? the reasoning for Numerically lower gear, and if it is, is a heavy duty powerglide with a standard 1.76...- Phartsmellar

I KInda thought about doing fiberglass doors and trunklid and bumpers maybe even a hood if someone offered first rate stuff with ability to do roll up windows. I figure Ill have 8-10k in paint and body work one way or another. In South Texas, this type of Labor is probably a little more...- Phartsmellar

As stated in initial post, atleast 9 sec capable,with ac that works. To me 9.70s or better sounds fairly solid.Pump Gas is of no interest to me, So lets assume I will use 114 oct or better.

My Idea of street driving is to go to the local Saturday Night Hang out and Socialize a bit and maybe do a little contesting for Speed as the local citations read. And mostly go to the track.
