For his setup.. Nowhere near 10 grand. But very much worth it.

I am heavily considering this on my Orange car.

...at this point i would keep my car as is..

i think next october .. a GT-R will be my next project.

AWD , bigger turbos, and clutch =9's in dead winter.

Right now in vegas .. the cold weather is making my car hard to drive at 600 rwhp.... kind of annoying..

Awesome man. We need to hook up, I want a ride in that monster. maybe we can make some videos, but you will have to spot me a few cars though.

With that much power I would not even try a drag radial. I thought you had a CCW drag package. If you ever want to borrow mine, just let me know.
