yes i know sorry. after i posted the last one i started to read the forced induction.
now i haven't read all of them just some of them but even if i get the 3s swapp i still want to ugrade the motor.
it was stated earlier that the 3s swapp should take me down to about 14 secs. in the 1/4 mile. so if i rebuild the 3s swapp from bottom up i should get even a better time right

before doing anything, set some goals that you want to reach. then it gives you a direction you can head. and then start researching on how you can get there.

your goals can be anything from 'i want to make it a little nicer to drive' all the way to 'i want a 500hp, 10 second quartermile monster' naturally, some goals will cost more than others to reach. and some might not be possible at all. so take a realistic look at what you want and see who else has done similar things and read what has been done before. it'll give you a good launching point. if you're just wanting a 14 second car, first re-read this thread and follow their advice. then you can plan out a course to take.
