Default After gathering info, my future setup is:

I have been actively looking on HT for the past month or so, looking for a safe setup to run as a daily driver and a drag car. I've decided to run a EK hatchback, with a B18C1 engine swap. The only problem I have been researching is where to go from there. As I stated earlier, this is going to be my daily driver, but I want good performance at the strip too. IMO, the cheapest and most reliable way to accomplish this is with a simple, I/H/E setup for daily driving with the addition of a Nitrous shot at the track. Above all, my first concern is safety. I need this car to last a long time and be easy to maintain. So, with that in mind please tell me what you think about my setup idea and what I could do to improve! Thanx!

-B18C1 Complete Engine Swap
