Hey guys this is my first attempt at a build thread, and a couple guys on here told me I should start one so here we go...

I first got my DA off an older couple that used it to drive back and forth around town and to flordia..Had 135,000 miles on it paid $2000 bone stock, when I was 16 years old...The car has gone threw so many different setups, from stock ricer mode with intake/header/exhaust/lowered on ugly wheels, to an ebay turbo kit on the stock ls motor, after that I decided it was time to get serious which is when I started my b16a semi build. I had the car runing for about 2 weeks and cracked a sleeve. Rebuilt another b16 with a good turbo kit more knowledge lasted a pretty long time, beating on it everyday at 370whp. I went 11.7 @124mph with that setup...I have learned so many things. From not knowing really anything about cars, to basically knowing everything in and out about my car/motor, whick leads me to my setup now..

This year I decide it was time to build somthing big and powerful, enough to shoot me into the 10's and stay reliable. the setup ill be running will be

B18a1-rs machine sleeved 84mm
ls crank
