[QUOTE="Igotaname, post: 15956956, member: 183659"] Hey guys. Long time reader. First time poster. I was struggling to get my clutch out. So I pulled the whole motor out to get the transmission off. Damn top bellhousing bolts. And Ive had a epiphany while its sitting out on the stand. Ive been racing the car in street 1/8ths. Ive thrown the idea out lot that I want to hop up my 99's engine. Taller rear gear and a ripping weight out has been my only real daydream. But. Ive been thinking more thoroughly recently. I want to launch my car on tall 28 bias plys and make a good amount of power to 7500ish RPM. In fact I kind of want that to be the only thing it does, except traveling between drag races. What's a damned fine way to do that for this thing? Right now Im thinking about a short runner intake. A cam that stays alive or flat into the 7500. Some strong springs and forged internals with a 4.56 or 4.88 gear. 1st gear be damned. Oil pump gears be billet. T45s be exploding. Is that a surefire way to meet my goal? Ive read so much from this forum and others Ive gotten choice fatigue. Im a fan of nos and have used it in the past. High comp pistons. The works. Ive just never touched a 4v. Ive only raced mine for a year and its been pretty lackluster and making me want more. Someone solidify a choice to get a nasty 1/8th miler that screams all the way home? [/QUOTE]
