[QUOTE="Riddick, post: 16641867, member: 143188"] From the sounds of it you like to go fast, welcome to the club! Since its primarily a street car I would highly advise against gutting the car. I would even advise you not to invest in weight reduction parts that you have to pay for (seats, k-members, control arms, etc...) You will spend a couple thousand dollars on these and gain .2 in the 1/4..... not worth it. You also mentioned cams, will you be performing the work yourself? If not the 2k estimated cost just increased quite a bit from labor. If this is the path you decide to take you really need to put a CJ intake on the car in conjunction with the cams. You also mentioned a supercharger and are estimating 7-8k to purchase. It sounds like you are wanting to buy new but you can find a used VMP/Roush or Paxton kits for 4k-5k easily. There are tons of tutorials on how to install these and you can do it yourself in a weekend. Consider all your options before diving in. Do you really want to gut a car you drive on the street, HELL NO! All motor sounds like its fun but it will leave you wanting more and you will spend damn near the same amount you could of bought a used supercharger kit for..... think about In my opinion boost is the only option, if speed is what you are after then eventually you will end up boosted.
