[jerritt]

okay so im sure some of you have seen some of the same questions that im about to ask but im planning on dropping a lot of money into this car and im just trying to get as much feedback as i can so i dont have to do this twice. okay so im planning on buying a motor from a fellow tb owner and im looking at other parts to go with it to reach 10s. i need a whole new exhaust system headers and all and im planning on doing the 3in down pipe so any ideas on what and where to get that whole exhaust? and then the parts listed: ALKY, fuel pump (ideas on which one to get as well), 83ld injectors, TT chip, scanmaster, cone air intake, 80mm TB, stall convertor (ideas on which one?), and i currently have a percision 57mm ball bearing turbo, and im sure im forgetting something so could some of you guys chim in and let me know if im doing this right and give me some ideas before i start buying parts because this is my first tb and OMG is this an expensive hobby lol but im sure you guys all ready know that
thanks again you guys are awesome
( and i plan on keeping this car on 93oct.)

First, slow down. Do some reading, then do some more reading. You don't need aftermarket headers. You definitely do not need an 80mm TB (my throttle body is stock). 83lb injectors are a little more than you need IF you are going to run 93 and ALKY and plan to just get into the 10's. look around on the sale forum, 60lb injectors with TT chips come up for sale fairly often, save yourself some money and buy used. Scanmaster is a MUST !!
Dusty Bradford is THE converter guy, contact him with your combo.
Exhaust you will get differing opinions on. Do you like loud? Do you like quiet? Aluminized or stainless.
Good luck, yes these cars are expensive !
