Thats a lot of hours to put in removing the engine etc, just to 'freshen up'. Why the hell not build up the bottom end?

cuz there is no need to spend the money. I am not gonna be pushing the internals to close what they are capable of and i have already spent over $7,000 on parts. So i dont really want to be doing anymore. But im figuring high 11's in the 1/4 mile on good tires.

wh spend $3k or more building the bottom when he wont even come close to maxing out what he has and the car will prob not be modded any further than whats going in now. It will be a low 12 maybe even in the 11s. and its a street car. we all know how my Evo street car ended up being low 12s high 11s. it sucked and John is trying to avoid a horrible cruiser
