Winter plans changed

So my winter plans changed this last week. I was going to be bridgeporting a fresh set of 12a irons and opening up my turbo 12a housings but my wifes father just gave me a 13B. Not just any 13B a p-port 13b. hehe I should hit over 200rwhp for sure. I'm not telling anyone local about my plans so it should be a good race season next year. My wifes father has a personal best of 12.88 1/4 mile time with the p-port in a first gen. I'm hoping for at least low 13's.

I don't think hes using it as a daily friver, more like track duty. It would cost a fortune to run it as a daily driver.

not sure yet. it only has 2500-3000km on it. that would be 1500-2000 miles. they have been hard miles since they are mostly 1/4 mile pass's on it.

Sounds like a damn good plan to change to since you aren't daily driving the car.
