my car can run high 11s if I had cams and at 22ish PSI.

the 11s isnt impossible but the AWD conversion was what I was saying wont happen. neither would high 11s on a FWD car unless you find some nice drag radials since traction wont be your friend

there is no difference between the 4G63 motor for FWD or AWD the motor is the same the drivetrain is the difference

Your motor is differnct from the 4G63 but as far as I know they can be swapped in those it is the 420a engine in the RS GS 2G eclipse\talons that cant be swapped with the turbo motor
