Future Plans for my baby.

[Moparty08]

I have been. I've already got a couple people looking out for me. One at my mom's old work at AB. Her old boss has been looking into it. Once something comes up he'll be calling me up. full time benefits and union. I'm looking foward to that. I've also done apps and everything else to like 10 places. I called a few people back and everything. I've been hunting and hunting and hunting. I'm just waiting on me second son to be born which should be pretty damn soon. My girl was already technically in the early stages of labor.

[neonslg09]

i understand with your new baby coming along and all.

and fyi, i applied to 21 places before the 1st place i applied to called me and said im hired...

good luck and good hunting to you.

and i hope you can do everything you want to your baby.

[Moparty08]

Yeah me too. I own a house and have a good amount saved in an ira so someday when my monthly pension payments stop in 9 years i should be able to pay off my house in full. even if i can't i'll still have a good job in the auto industry and my girl will be working at a salon somewhere.

[UNDERGROUND6T9]

I'm gonna keep it. Maybe someday i'll have an srt on the side too. for now this is my route. Plus i'll save a ton on insurance with just an se instead of srt. Plus i'll have plenty of money each year to put a couple grand into it. once i get a job i'll be working my ass off and then my girl will be working too so instead of my money going all to her she'll have her own.

you need to search hard. hard. for a job.

right now.

get off the computer. and go hunting

I was just about to say the same thing.

[neonslg09]

sweet. never pay for haircuts!!

[Moparty08]

Or car repairs at least laborwise.

[neonslg09]

lol thats true. just have to buy the part and install for free. thats why i think you should just save your money for a turbo kit,

just get the cam, IM, and head first. then save.

maybe do your crazy suspension and stuff, maybe some looks. then turbo.

[Moparty08]

oh yeah turbo is absolutely last. slowly build it up then BLAM BOOST. Gotta build a good platform then add the major power.

[neonslg09]

its recommended you do it.

if you want it done that way, time will just expand. im not too sure how well your patience holds up but your gonna be itching for it to be done.

sooo get you an awesome high paying job and have it done by next summer.

[Moparty08]

Or win powerball. it's like 245 million right now.

[neonslg09]

psh.

chances are 1 in 186,000,000

sorry to burst your bubble. and you gotta pay just to play!! so gay.

[Moparty08]

Yeah i know. but it would be nice. i could pay off everything and be living pretty good.

[Moparty08]

Bump for new parts added in trans and dress up sections. Any more input is greatly appreciated

[Adionik]

I wish you were local so I could give you a ride in my car, but once you ride in a turbo car your priorities and perspective change. Kind of like how I thought I was content being in the maxed out stock turbo range and now i'm going for 500

[Moparty08]

well i wanna beef up the trans to handle more power. My ultimate goal would be to be in the 500 range as well.

[mikedon_2gn]

Good luck with the build. Oh and if you do decide not to go the turbo route, I have an 02 R/T pcm. Not sure if it can be flashed though. SRT's you can flash I know for sure but not sure about the 00-02's.

[Moparty08]

I will definitely be going the turbo route now. After looking at anthony's review of his asp turbo and how great erick is I can't go wrong with that. Turbo all the way.

[gsxr7racer]

So after spending the better part of 3 hours looking at and reading the FAQs and using the search function I finally have a plan put in place. These are all things I plan on doing to my car within the upcoming years. Let me know what you guys think. Some mods are pretty general but that's just because I don't know what brand I will be going with. I'm open to suggestions as well. Let me know what brands you might have had luck with and maybe some to steer clear of.

I would go with a Magnum head and skip the porting and polishing (or do it on that head), I think if it were me I would go 8.8 to 1 pistons if you are going for 500HP. Who makes those titanium valves you are after? I think that's a huge waste of money personally. And really are you going to use this as a daily driver with 500HP? Seems a little unrealistic to me. Personally I am thinking of a lot of the same mods you are but going to opposite way with the body and interior, keep it ugly and strip it out to lose weight... I love whipping people with a POS looking car!!

Good luck with your project.

[Moparty08]

Well i'm still taking suggestions. even if i could get it to 300 i'd be happy with that. Is lower compression better for boost? I think i read that somewhere. Also i am going with the magnum head and i will get that p&p'd. I've seen some just can't remember the name. Either that or some magnum ones. I'm just looking to get something that's got some more power and is fun to drive.

[gsxr7racer]

Yes, lower compression is what you need for a turbo set up. That way when you turn up the boost (and you will) you don't blow up the motor.

[Haganracing]

Fixed

[Adionik]

Yeah seriously...it's the worlds biggest understatement when they say you "want more"

You will ALWAAAAAAAYS want to turn up the boost

[Moparty08]

Ok well i fixed that lower compression then.
