ok, not to pick on the youngster...but Teck-9, your handle is scary at your age btw...here goes, an old guy story...short but to the point...at 19, I traded, yes everyone, traded a '69 Z-28 for a '71 big block Camaro...limited production mind you. It ran grt right out of the box, and tighed1, it was blue. I immediately if not sooner, said, I need more hp. Put on a high rise intake, new holley carb, headers, wires, accel ignition. To do this, I was working in hardware store by day, and a performance shop at night. The shop built chassis for pro stock..no engines, just chassis. So, no help there. I put cragar all the way around. 3" up front, 10" in the rear, traction bars were added. My car took all my money. I still had to pay for it. It was a lot of money back then. I was doing fine until I went to the internals. That was costly, and made the car undependable. This was my daily driver. I immediately broke a valve keeper, causing all kinds of damage to the motor, I didn't learn there, I destroyed 3 more short blocks in my street racing career. Finally the performance shop owner, Norm Paddock, stepped in, talked me into a small block chevy motor...'70 LT-1 motor...I quit racing...not before spending 3 times what I paid for the car, riding my motorcycle everywhere, rain or shine, warm or cold, 'cause it was my only transportation. I wish I had that stock 396 Chevy Camaro today, just as it was...priceless.. so, start out slow teck-9, don't make your daily driver something that it is not...enjoy taking your girlfriends for a ride, mine left me when I spent too much time under the hood...enjoy life, cars will always be there...
