Default Re: 10K for a drag car

if u want a street car go the Soarer as a few have mentioned. as dieseltrain79 said they are fast for little $'s.

honestly, you also need to look to the future. it's natural progression. once u go 11's you will want to go 10' once u go 10's u will want to go 9's once u go 9's u will want to go faster.

why push an engine hard just run a low 11-sec pass? get a light car, run low boost that also means less maintenance, less $'s, wear and tear on the engine. that's why i thought that Nissan on my105 would be perfect for you. throw a 1JZ in there you only need to put in about 7psi and you'd run a 11.1 low boost, low comp, light car the engine could live forever. the other good thing is all you need to do it put a little more boost in and you can go quicker. you've got at least another 20psi to play with. with 25psi (which a 1JZ could handle easily and the bonus, they only cost $1000 fully assembled and good for 800hp) there is no reason you can't run a low-mid 9 when and if your ready to take it that far. and that's all with the same budget as you would spend on any of the other cars mentioned.
