Sweet man. She should be pretty raspy with the Exhaust ports as big as they are. Should pull nicely. You should probly get the RB Street port intake and carb setup. Well you Auto X so nvm. Hmmm need something better than the stock intake and carb...FI? Ive still got mine to go on aswell

Looks like a good setup. I would still go with a set of webs on her and a j port AKA big bridge port. That thing will scream.

Well the irons are streetported and the housings are race ported (but a little squred off on the bottom from the previous port job) based off racing beat templates. It will stay crab'd, and a nikki for now. Next on the list is suspension.

That is on the "suspension" list. After suspension, is tires/wheels. Then ignition, followed by intake. Once I get there, it will be a new rear end. At this point I think I would swap in a TII, and some better brakes....when does the list end

What size are the wheels? How about the ignition set up, you have the TFIDIS right?

there 13's Just a different offset, Maybe a lill wider but if they are not by too much. Also I have brand new lower control arms for the rear. Ive got a few other things but cant remember. Yes I do have a variation of the TFIDIS the TFIDIS uses the older ford TFI ignition coils, Im using MSD Blaster 2 Coils. But there the same in both ways

Most likely not interested in 13" wheels, unless they be reeaal cheap. But let me know about the ignition set up, it's next on my to do list.

30 bucks for the wheels. Only two have tires. There worn but still useable toyo proxies RA1 one rim has a dent in the lip. Its steel so a bfh should fix that. Ive got no use for the ignition setup. Id say 60 for everything. Thatll include the 2nd gen plugs. All that needs to be done is me swapping back to the old setup.

You can keep the wheels. Once you have the ignition swapped, we can meet up. No need to hurry.
