    looking at cost

    Hello, i am looking at building a motor for my 86 dodge daytona. I want a motor/ turbo set-up that will put me in the high 12s or low 13s, and also something that is fine for a daily driver if i needed it to be. I am looking for power/ efficiancy. Any help or oppinions on the set up that you have in mind will be greatly appreciated. thanks

    How much can you do yourself? How's your fab/welding capabilities?What tranny do you have? Any wieght reduction in the daytona? How comfortable are you with your own tuning? Do you have a scan tool or reliable method of knock detection?
