This is being done at a local Import Performance Shop who'd have thunk?!

Still cool!

All this turbo talk from you has me wondering what you have up your sleeve?

Busted

I figure, fuck it, the only thing I have now that I would have to sell is the Carb. All the other shit I don't have, so when buying it... Why not just buy it the first time - the exact way I want it

I still need fuel, cooling, and exhaust... All of which, potentially, could/would have to be changed if I went all motor or nitrous and then was to later upgrade to turbo. I'd either need bigger pumps, more regulation of fuel, sell headers for turbo manifolds, change the radiator / fan combo to allow fitment of a turbo, etc etc etc.......

So, just trying to get my thoughts in order. It'll be a long while yet before the car goes together and is race-ready. What's an extra few months to turbo it? Especially since this new job I can make 6 figures annually at (crosses fingers) w/enough hard work and dedication!

Haaaaaaa, patience is a virtue! Thats the good thing about not "having" to have the car done right now. You can plan it out and do it right the first time.
Heck it will probably be two years till I'm done hahaha.
