Welcome

I started out looking for an FRC too, wound up in a coupe. Whatever you wind up in you will love it. The HP bug is easily caught here, looks like you've already got it.

Welcome to the forum!

I agree with what many have said and plan on doing exactly what your going to do. Daily driver and want to put heads and cams package, yet, I am looking at around 435-450rwhp and no more. Trying to be realistic and reliable at the same time. I shall be more then happy with that power, but you can get a few H/C packages that will give you about 470rwhp.

Good luck with the project.
-Kam
