Default I have money!!!......Now what?

OK so this is my deal. I have 2654.32 and It all going torwards my hatch. The problem is that I don't know how to spend it. I had a ls motor in but I spun a bearing. I bought another ls engine but since I realized that I have this money I have been thinking about what I want to do with it. I am think ls/vtec because I can order a motor from hmo for 1600 shipped. What does anyone think about my stuation? is there any better solutions to my "problem". My goal is to have 200 whp and I don't want to spend a month tuning the damn thing

Save up and buy a different car.

A mustang would get you into the 12s for about that much.

Trans Am's are the same story:

Exhaust + Bottle = 12s.

Don't act like a retard.

if you had an LS before and liked it...get another one and do it right. Go high quality with every componant--if you really wanna spend alll your money on your car though i mean..its just so easy so if your saying you want 100% of that money to go into making your car fast haha why not go ls vtec...get a nice lsd..nice clutch/flywheel i mean its up to you theres just so many things i dont think anybody can really say ok heres how you should spend your 2 grand...honestly if it were me id say ok im only spending half this money..give myself a modest budget and see what i could do

That's about $2300 right there for mounts, linkages, wiring, clutch cable, fluids, oil, axles, knuckles, and shipping. Out of the question.

Heres what you do...

You said you have an ls motor already correct? Well if thats the case, throw a bottle on there, bottle heater, fpr and call it a day. 200whp for about ehhhh 400 bones, give or take.

Now do yourself a big favor and put the rest of the money in the bank and/or invest in something simple. I know its not the awsome VvTak moTOr YO! but you'll thank me in a year or two when you have the financial freedom to be sippin margaritas in some carribean place with all that dough you had saved up and not dumping it into a 20 year old car.

Boy, I must be getting old.

Get another LS motor. Do an LS/vtec with it. You could even build it for a high compression N/A monster or you could stay stock block 250-300whp on a F/I motor. Also get a LSD cable B16 transmission.

You could turbo an LS for 2600 easly I'd say 1000 into fixing/upgrading the LS block and 1600 for a turbo kit you make.

That leaves almost 55 dolars for one hell of a line of coke and a hooker

Ever hear of a 03-04 Cobra? Must not have those in your neck of the woods.

$55 might get you a decent line of coke, or a nasty hooker, but your not getting both. Mabey a terrible 300lbs hooker, and a skinpy line of blow. Anyway I say fix the LS and buy some suspension. If you really want 200hp, then get a vtec head, some buddy club stage 3's, AEBS intake, some 450cc injectors, 70mm tbody and a RMF header. You should be able to do all of that on your budget if you are carefull.

My boss has one with a ported blower, pulley, and lots of other mods. Before the ported blower, he made 476whp, 506ft. lbs. Animal, frys 315/18/35 Drag radias in third. The best thing ford ever made, prior to the GT.
