I told my wife, just a "basic VE swap, with I/H/E and good tuning" is all I need. Mid to high 13-second runs if I ever decided to actually do a quarter mile at a track. 185-190 whp. That would be...ahem...."plenty of speed" for daily driving and an occasional road course outing.
However, now I really, really, want a daily-driver, full interior, B13 street vehicle, that can do a quarter mile in the 12's.
Wifey also knows this is the "never ending project."
CSK's, NX brakes, Chriscar gauge cluster.....Big Block VE.
