125$...

just got a small amount of cash. what's good to buy for 125 bucks? im thinking a direct fire ignition setup and...what else? my car is basically stock, except for the fact that it has no emissions at all...and a stripped interior. i plan to drop in a large street port motor with a carb setup and straight through exhaust. would this motor be able to make power to the 8,500rpm limit of the 12A?

since your a drifter, you should buy the suspension tech. sway bar i have for sale

btw, do you seriously drift? what is your suspension setup, ect. ive been into it for awhile now and im at the point where im tired of being under powered, i cant hold slides for very long.

You should save the $125 to put toward your new engine. You'll need all the money you can get if you want to build it right.
