Damn Thor you had a field day today on these nOObs.
Lot's can be done. But depends on your goals. You need to figure that out first, then look at how much you want to spend. Then you go from there.

Hey, you should have seen the first drafts of the posts I made tonight... I didnt come on tonight bent on being a malicious ass crack, but yes, I have been more to the point tonight.
I am standing by statement on this though. Unless your goals are to maybe get into the 14's, you just have a bad platform. Any reasonable amount of money wouldnt do hardly anything for that car. I understand there may be some emotional ties to the car, but if the "need for speed" or whatever isnt enough to sever those ties then I think you just need to accept the fact that its not that fast of a car.

Well I don't know about that. Most people start off just doing all the bolt ons cause their easy. If, from day 1, you pull the motor, do a complete rebuild and slap a nice turbo on it, you can get quite a bit of power from it. Starting price to get to some ok numbers would be around $2000.Obviously it can go way higher, but if you want power from the car, just start with a full rebuild.
