My indecisive nature prevails again....I've run across a deal that I'm finding it difficult to make a decision about, hopefully you guys can help.
Some of you have heard that Shamou, the whale of a 3000gt is back in the area, awaiting the final touches on it's resurrection from the dead. Alas tamer than when it last terrorized the streets, it will still be a deadly beast for such a fat ass. Comfy and prestigious, a true Japanese "supercar". I think most of you have seen my Talon and know what it's about. If not, check out my garage. Basically I've got an opportunity to get Shamou back. This requires selling my Talon however, cause I'm poor. Tough decision, keep the Talon, or sell it and get Shamou... Whatca think? -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

Here's a good starting point. Bolt on PTE GT32E Turbocharger $850 Base Price Supports up to 520hp. (should be able to make 475 at wheels) Our test car has a stock engine, FMIC, full 3" exhaust. Spool-up is slightly better than the PTE 50 and precision says it can support more power. This makes it our standard "off the shelf" turbo. Standard Sleeve bearing center section. 3" compressor inlet, 2" outlet TO4E compressor housing. Uses the standard Garret T3T4 oil line kit. That should be more than enough turbo to do the job. Now injectors and fuel system parts, 2.5in IC pipes, FMIC, Eprom w/ logger, and you're pretty much there. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
