I didn't read the whole thing, but how much was spent so far (if it's finished, then how much total)?

same goes with me about people that put turbos on na's

so you turn up the HP on na and the drive train cant take it.

I'm back

Hey everybody I'm back after several years offline. Some of you know I was depoyed to Iraq for a year and then had to move to Alaska. I finished my 3 rotor convertible project and had to sell it before I moved to Alaska (yes I cried). Anyway I'm back in the lower 48 now and I just bought a very clean and completely stock 91 vert. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, probably nothing right now, but I'm sure I will have the need for MORE POWER pretty soon.

Good to be back and hope to read up on some new threads.

Yeah, the NA drivetrain is just so bloody weak. Mine's be holding over 400HP for two years and has just now developed a slight whine in the transmission...
