Re: Engine questions bout hp>em2

well, it really depends on what you want. Budget, horsepower goals, do you just wanna go ricky bobby mode and go fast, or are you planning on making it a DD/track car? If you plan on "racing," is it gonna be track or drag? In other words, do you care about being fast around turns, too, or straight line is all you care about?

I ask all these questions because asking "how do I make my em2 fast" is a SUPER vague question.. I would also like to emphasize one word in that small block of text: budget?

What are your horsepower and/or 1/4-mile time goals?
