Just looking to go low low 11s sit be able to somewhat daily drive it if I had too... put it on a tire and the track and go fast, but pretty much a car I can just drive around and whoop upon unexpected cars on the streets... I want to go with like a b18c( or is that swap even necessary setup with a gsr/ls trans, and good built head and a gt30r turbo or something similar.... whats your guys opinion? I have been trying to do some resreach on here but people are so all over the board with set up ideas. I have been a mustang guy my entire life but for some reason these little car are pretty cool. I just bought this car as it sits...wondering where I should go from here... thanks guys...(but like I said Ive only known mustangs so the past 2 weeks ive been spending alot of time online trying to resreach this build, and how much it will cost) thanks again guys

 

i have seen a B16 block with a B17 crank break 600+hp and 300+Lbs, but that was in a magazine i dont know specifics on it or what type of fuel. Common guys i cant wait to hear the trash from seeing something in a mag atleast i can admit it! There is not much else to do in Iraq durring my free time.
Back to the questions... I would run a B18c with a LS tranny for longer gears

 

LS/VTEC or B20/VTEC because they are fairly inexpensive.
GT30 or 35 should be PLENTY for a FWD street car...
Shorter gears are faster in most cases...

 

The type r headlights should be all you need to acheive your goal.

But no seriously fix your bent valve and you're there!

 

If you build the car right the first time you shouldnt have any problems daily driving the car..I pretty much drive my car every day, unless an issue comes up...lol
