Not trying to be a dink, so don't take this the wrong way.
The question you need to answer (as we all do ;) ) is;
What is your goal and your budget for the build?

My question to myself was: How fast can I afford to go? :eek:

I thought i covered that,but allow me to be more clear.
my budget for the build is $6,000 to $7,000
I have an advantage,i recently opened a part store so i can get cheap engine parts etc.
But i havnt messed with the g.n's for more than 8 years,so im kinda lacking the knowledge base i need to get it right the first time i think,so thats why im here asking you fine people.
I do know that comb of parts is more important than what you got.Yes?
GOALS for the car.
1...d.d.good drivability is paramount.
2...Looking to run low 12's with street tires.
3...will be rebuilding trans/engine/new turbo.
what do you suggest i spend my money on?
WHAT I ALREADY HAVE.
1...blue top inj.
2...big intank pump[dont know which one]
3...terry houston down pipe.
4...intercooler scoop.
5...9'' k&n filter open box.
6..kenny bell control arms[boxed]
7..k.b. pinion snubber.
8...belled and cleaned intercooler.
9...adjustable fuel pressure reg.[billet style]
