So at a party last night a buddy of mine makes the mistake of being a good conversationalist and asks me exactly how much is getting modified on the AWD. Me, "well probably more down the road. For now I'm just trying to get it on the road with...

Engine- Rebuilt. Balance Shafts removed. Ported head, Ralliart headgasket. Undrive pulley

Drivetrain- GVR4 tranny. Fidanza flywheel, ACT 2600, shortened '91 shifter. Solid shifter and cable bushings. Stiffened motor mounts

Induction- 20G Turbo. Extrude honed intake. FMIC, 144 intake, K&N. Apexi AVC-D boost controller. 2G MAF

Exhaust- Ported 2G manifold, 3" turboback

Fuel- 720cc injectors. Walbro 255, Bosch inline pump to supplement. SAFC to manage it.

Spark- NGK plugs and wires, Optima battery

Exterior- Fiberglass hood and some lightening.

Interior- Yeah, its gone. Oh wait, theres EGT, A/F, Boost, Oil pressure, Water temp, and Volt gauges (uh-oh that must add some weight)

Oh, and a 55 dry shot of nitrous for when I want to wreck it all.

Then he (remember the buddy that started the conversation) asks, "whatever happened to that 13's for $1300 goal.

"Oh yeah... Umm..."

Yeah, they probably are overkill but the price was right. From what I read the SAFC can tune it down, I'll just have a crappy idle. As long as it doesn't stall outright I'm not really concerned with idle quality. Also, Daryl is running race gas and additional pressure in his monster. I'm thinking that for pump gas, nitrous and reg. pressure it might be a good choice. We'll see how it pans out when it's up and running (or crawling/limping down the quarter).

Oh yeah, just realized I forgot to add the balance shaft removal and stiffened motor mounts above. And the list grows again.
