Thinking of going that way after I put the new Engine in, but I'm having a hard time picking out what I want, something like this...

Double Roller Timing Chain
3.5" Callies Magnum 4340 Balanced Forged Crank
6" Oliver Billet Rods
4.125" J&E Pistons Thermal/Barrier Coating
J&E Rings
Clevite Bearings Main, Rod, and CAM
CompCams Mechanical Roller Cam
Crower Mechanical Roller Lifters

-long term goal-
Either the TE-44, or the PT-52 turbo.
-TE44 565-hp TO4E C-Cover, Small 60 trim comp wheel, 76 P trim turbine wheel, .58 .68 or .81 T4 Tan, .69 or .85 A/R On Center T4

Are you working yet? You find a job that will pay for those parts and let me know if they are hiring. lol

My cash is set up for a paint job and racing at indy. Bigger turbo's next year.

Ya they are hiring, if you want a job let me know. You'll need to get your CDL's, & the pay is nice... $

Rgr, what are ya doing with your engine, and were are you doing it at ? I'm taking my engine out after the first of the year to Rebuild it, then I'm going to build up that 375ci engine into a 383ci... I can't wait to see over 500hp under the hood, then it will be time for the turbos or Supercharger...

I'm not tearing into the engine just doing some stuff to the topside. Coating plenum, misc brackets, hard pipe IC, and replacing my lifters w/ 99 lifters. Rest of the internals are already forged. Chuck gave me a couple idea's about my waste gates and clipping my stocker turbo's. I'm waiting on a group buy for a downpipe and will gut my precats, install the mccord power plate. Already put on the new BOV to hold more boost. If I find a good deal on a EBC i'll remove the MBC.

Before I put it up in the garage for the winter I had my MBC set at 12 psi which was nice. I then had it at 15psi and I ran into a problem. I'm making more power than my stock clutch can hold. lol I need a aftermarket clutch. Until then I'm stuck at 12 psi. The 15psi should yeild me consistant early 12's. Bigger turbo's and fuel should get me into 11's. Since I'm not building a 1/4 car I'm leaning towards a 15g/20g hybrid.

So for now I have: K&N FIPK, rewired/hotwired fuel pump, Test Pipe, Front/Rear Supermac Double Polished Strut Bars, Free Boost Mod, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Magnecor Wires, NGK Plat Plugs, Oil Cooler, Radiator Flush, Variety of Hoses, Good year Eagle GSC 17's, Injectors Cleaned and Blueprinted by RC Engineering, ECU refreshed by AVPROECM.com, Red Top Battery, Remove Testpipe install mccord power plate, gut precats, Proboost MBC, TurboXS H-34 w/ a RFL spring hybrid running open atmosphere (going back to closed loop when I get into propain injection). EGR line reduction, EGR removal, datalogging on laptop, custom CNC machined heal/toe racing pedals, engine dress up, and hopefully soon paintjob w/ silver dual racing stripes bumper to bumper. Another winter project is I need to replace the oil pump, don't want a spun bearing mod. :P

Car is paid off now, so paint job should hopefully be this winter. Thinking keep the same green, add silver stripes and powdercoat my rims gun metal grey. I dunno tho, need to do some photoshopping of what it would look like.

edit: heres a pic of my pedals. If you send in a template they can make some for your car too, great craftsmanship and value, fast delivery also. Mine were about 69 bucks in a group buy, so single sets are probably a bit more:
