See, this is your problem right here. You WANT to have something fast, yet you dont have the skill to make it happen.

My advice is: learn how to work on your car first, change the oil, fix the brakes, do a 60K serivce. Get comfortable holding a wrench. THEN come back and start building your car for power.

also, dont just go for a number, like 400hp right off the bat. Learn to drive the car at the stock power, take it to autocross, and maybe some track days, try to get the most out of the entire car stock before you go and make changes to it.

Thanks, reddozen.

I *recognize* that I shouldn't go that route. That was the point of my post. As much as I would love a 20b, it's probably a really bad idea for me.
