For several months I have ahd a 1998 CSVT. It has served a few miles as I stick mainly to my Bimmer. I bought this car for the track, twisties that is, and plan heavy engine modifications in the winter. I have a bugdet for this project of $3200 right now. What can I get HP wise with this right now, there is a vortech, right? But what will be the best bang for the buck?
I would like the T as I would then have great high RPM potency with track use where
potentially I can get much more power via intercooling and controllers. But are these tepid waters at this point or would I be pioneering here?
Consensus please. Thank You.

IMO, for $3200 all you'll get is a probably underengineered Vortech kit, that is far from reliable... And taht's it... This is what *I* would do w/ $3200...
1. KKM & heatshield - $170
2. TB & MAF & S-AFC - $550
3. MSDS headers - $600
4. custom true dual cat-back - $500 inc. labor
5. Accusump - $350
6. electric water pump - $350
7. plugs and wires - $75-$150
8. Quaife - $600
-------------------------------------
Total = cca. $3300+ labor on whatever you can't install yourself.
That'll get you through the season, then you can go ahead and do the 3.0 swap next winter, along w/ a new clutch.
Just what I would do...
'98 SVT - modded
-15.01@91.8
'95 Suzuki GS500E
-faster than the above
---wanting a Speed Triple or Superhawk badly

I see you are back from last year...
We've added a Forced Induction section since last time you were here and cleansed the user base so that's why your old account is gone...

Just what I would do... The MSDS Headers sound most appealing. The clutch is weak on this car? With boost I plan on fortifying the pumps and the trx. That is another story. TB, MAF, are on the way. Those are easy enough. I will be purchasing the headlight air-intake Chris is molding. But I don't want the SC. I feel it will lash the driveline moreso than the Turbo with smooth onset of PSI. Any TURBO's here ?

Last year I did not have this car. It was a gift from a client of mine who is a real Ford fanatic. He races 2 5.0 liters and an older styled Mustang with a 351W and full racing chassis and cage. I owe this new project to him. HE pages through here a lot to see what the FWDer's are doing and recommended I sign up and get involved by working with your rec's. This car was for his son who recently lost motor function in his right hand and right leg due to a pinched nerve in his spine. But don't worry he is getting his son the car he always wanted, a 300ZX. He shall have the newest iteration in his garage when they come out. Thank You.

I'm pretty sure Demon was replying to your name, which was so neatly pointed out last year.

Anyways,
Have fun

JVT, you can't be serious........did you bump your head?
And hey, Mr. Da Knob Liker, how are your forged titanium rods? The ones your bicycle shop friends made for you?
Also, just a point of clarification, it's obvious you can't spell, after all you did mean rekcil - you bone smoking b!tch
Hey, go pack your azz with M80s a squat over a hibachi........we're tired of your rectum rhetoric
