    Yeah.. Im not ready for the 1250 hp yet!! I would be happy with a 13 second car for now. Get more racing in.. win some races and have fun. In the future a 10 second or better car would be definatly sweet.. but I want to take it in steps. I have alot more to learn and hopefully a lot of time...

    SWEETT!! You guys rock!! I do have some racing skills.. ;) I know things will change with a different car, but more test n tunes will get me use to the car easily.. right now i average a .050 (on a .000 tree) or better.. I have been known to hit .002's, .003's, .004's in one night... I have hit...

    Sweet.. That is what a friend of mine told me earlier today. What tranny did the v8/307 regals have? My 84 had a th350 or something in it.. But my dad (it was my first car 16 years ago) said the previous owner swapped it in... and what about a v8 with a cam, headers, exhaust and gears in it...

    Ok.. good info to know. although I am strongly leaning towards non turbo. 5 to 10k is a good start for me eithor way I go... But this is all good info for me to keep in mind over the next few days or weeks i am lurking for a regal or cutlass for sure!! Thanks!! I am going to keep reading up...

    Where did I say I wanted to run 10's for this project??? I think I keep saying 13's... And if I wanted it in the 10's or better... and takes me 12 years and 40 thousand to do it then so be it. NOS Is the easiest and cheapest (in some respect) way to go fast.. But i wont touch NOS. While I...

    No I trust you.. But like i said.. I would much rather have a project car/ builder. I love cars and love to work on them!I would be more proud of a car I personally built then one that was already finshed and done by someone else. I don't want to get into a debate on buying already done vs...

    Thats why I was asking about swaping in a bb or sb.. But I would never use NOS. All Motor. NOS can be unconsistent too.;)

    Sweet!!! In a long about why.. You guys gave me the info I needed!! Thanks!! I think I can get it done for about 5 grand actually. But I got people. Lol Well 5 grand engine alone I mean. I would prefer non turbo.. just because I have never delt with them and know things can be done with out...

    I know I am going to dump money into it. I dont remember saying money is not an option.. I remember saying this.. "I know it is going to take money.. thats not the issue." I want to avoid spending 20 grand on a 13 second car is my point. If I am going to spend 20 grand it is going to be on a 10...

    Yeah i was going to come back and say that.. "turbo cars" are not always consistent. I personally would prefer a non turbo car. I like being all motor. Although you can bet if I come across a turbo one for the right price.. I would not pass it up. Thanks for that info.. Now I am more clear on my...

    I think I forgot to post it.. The one pictured above is a 83 Turbo T-Type. for 900.. it was a steal of a deal for sure!! I am ok with getting a plain regal.. I will build it. I am not necesarily looking for a Turbo one at all. Just a good builder. Thats what I am saying.. More then likely it...

    Wow.. haha.. That second one is cool!! See right now I am not looking to pop wheelie (or have that much hp) Or be fast enough to need a parachute. I am looking for 13's... Which in some cases from what I understand i can do with headers, cam, exhaust, and some gearing. If I got a sb or bb route...

    car I have seen a few consistent regal bracket cars. I think anything can be made consistent. I have seen alot of various consistent cars. New, old, classic... I have a friend who has an 84 monte carlo runs a consistent 10.06 all day long. A friends 71 Impala runs 13.9's all day and his other...
