I could have gone faster but the point I was trying to make at the time was that the basic pieces were pretty darn stout and you could go fast without a lot of shiny parts.
The car was put into the 12's which was the goal with a minimum of money. We got Jon's Shadow into the 11's with a Super 60 turbocharger and a NPR intercooler.
Your looking at a junkyard 52 mm throttle body, SAAB cold start valve with pressure switch, a diode for the map cut off, back cut valves, a boost controller made from some brass at Home Depot, an exhaust system made from a box of elbows and a home ported exhaust manifold. Cam timing was adjusted with keys from Mopar Performance (before someone brought cam sprockets to market, cough-cough)
All and all pretty low buck.
I did install a double core intercooler in the car after but never made hard track passes to see how it picked up. Doing testing on the dyno the stock intercooler was a massive restriction at 20 psi, the pressure difference between inlets and outlets was 5 psi.
