yeah i know they are out there but if i'm going to take to that level i actually want to be competitive with it. And if i start going that route it is goiong to get real expensive real fast. I figure that for around 3k maybe 3500 i can take it to 400hp and have a blast going down the track and still be within the rules to not have to go to expensive
time to start making it fast!
- Thread starter the sarge
- Start date
yeah there are some fast ones out there but it will still be my daily driver. I have decided on the 400hp cap because any more would force me into a whole different realm of modifications.
i figure with the 400hp range i can leave the majority of the car stock and keep it relativly tame by having a set of tunes i can flip between if thats possible for street use and track use.

I make over 400rwhp/500rwtq and have nothing but rear suspension upgrades(UCA/LCA, shocks, spherical bushings). No Tubular K/A-arms, no front sway, no shock tower brace(one of the 1st things to go) etc etc. Hell I ran an 11.39 with a 1.61 60' on drag radials on a 100% bone stock 94 suspension with the same power. They arent as bad as many people make them out to be, but obviously there is room for improvement..
OP, for your car suspension wise a simple set of UPR fixed upper/lowers will work great along with a set of subframe connectors(with spring of your choice). You dont need to go apeshit on suspension, and if you do it all, it gets very expensive for the good stuff! The nice thing about the tubular pieces are the weight savings you will see, which is a trouble spot for the verts. Hope this helps bud.
I have been doing some research on the turbo kits and it seems that a k member is required for them as far as other suspension mods go I know it will improve my car's ability to hook up but the question then becomes where does the wallet bleeding stop. Obviously some mods to the rear would not hurt at all but I don't think it will be in my initial plan.
I may be going abit backwards in it but right now I am just looking at the hp boost and then go from there.
Something else I am now considering is how fast can I go and what can I get away with while still keeping my car in the street class at the track. I need to research the different track rules

The K-member will have no part of making your car "hook". Its the other suspension pieces that will do that. And yes youre right, with most turbo kits you will have to change it out for a tubular piece.
What "street" class are you running in? There are many classes, and you need to look at the rule book for each class and chose one accordingly. If all you want is a fun street car that you take to test and tune and rip every once in awhile, the sky is the limit .
