Budget, yes. Ghetto, no. At the moment I see stock tank and electric pump, but we'll see.

Yeah, I'll do some more research this week and see if I can buy the parts somewhere. But if I can't and we don't have any luck at the Long Beach swapmeet, I'd say you're gonna have to go another route.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

If the 174 doesn't work out, and unless something else free doesn't pop up , I'd be curious to go Turbo. Sure, there's that turbo manifold thing to deal with, but we might be able to get away with our stock rear end in that case since it won't hit as hard as the roots.

See poll on direction if the 174 doesn't work out. We still have some flexibility here. The only commitments we've really made are SBF and an NHRA style cage good to 10.

I don't like the options, I vote Turbo and IRS. And you forgot yet another option, nitrous.

Bird, hands off my blower! My 3K lb Vette needs it more than our light lil rice rocket.

How do you like the new poll option pumpkin-sauce?

I'm all about it, squash-puree. I changed FI to forced induc. I read it three times thinking, why is FI (fuel injection) an opposing option to a turbo...

I'm talking to some guy on an RX7 forum right now who has some 3" flares, he's sending me pics. I'll be sure to post.

You transformed pumkin-sauce into squash puree but didn't figure FI was forced induction . . .

Let's see what happens with the 174 and what opportunities pop up. I'm going to ask around about spare bits for a 174 with some other sources. The turbo sure would be fun, but it'd be considerably more complex overall to make work right. Not that I'm afraid of that by any means.
