Chapter 1
congrats to you mark! i love it when a new owner is so excited about the car. i still get that feeling when i am walking up to my car or i get a complement from a stranger. you are going to get a lot of people telling you that you should save your money and go with a built engine and twin turbos. even though my wife paid cash for my car (god bless her) i can't imagine dropping $15,000 or more on the motor. don't get me wrong, if i had that kind of cash sitting around i would do it
. but i don't
i did a few mods this week, and the car is a different animal. i don't care what a dyno would say, cause the car feels awesome. i installed the motordyne copper iso-thermal spacer myself. it took a few hours, but i did it. you can too. it is easy. in addition to that i had JE Import Performance install a Jim Wolf clutch and flywheel along with a SS clutch line. the car is so much better in every way. i love it. a supercharger or turbo may happen in the future, but i love this car every time i drive it. have fun, be safe and enjoy.

Save up and get a built enigne with a turbo on it. I have about every bolt-on NA Mod on the car and yes it sounds cool and is a little faster but it's mostly style points.
All they are are an extension of our personalities.........
