DITTO... Heck, I'm not even willing to do that. I might as well buy a new Formula Sports Racer for $44k and get on with it... I'll allocate about another $10k for the car over the next year and that's pretty much it. I figure that will get me to 250 hp and install the required safety systems and get it dialed-in the best it can be. Then it will be up to my driving skills to take it to the podium.
Here's the list of things I'm going to do to the car and then let it alone.
Install the Super Sprint Headers that are sitting in my garage. (headers were $1,800) (install will be $600) if we have to pull the engine.
Custom down pipes and exhaust system installed. ($600)
Purchase and Install the Schrick Cams. (Purchase $1900) (Install $1,100)
Extrude Hone, Port Match, intake and exhaust ($1,900) (labor $1,200)
Roll cage build and install. ($2,200)
Dyno before and after with FAM ($500)
Custom ECU / FMU mapping ($1,000)
I have decided that this is all I'm going to do with the car... And this can only be done as the funds become available. Also consider my race entry fees run about $250 per weekend and tires (which only last two weekends) cost $1,140... Hotel Room, Gasoline, etc, etc, etc...
