Start (money left) means you start with $16K. The money left after the investment in the previously mentioned bunch is in the parenthesis. In other words,
89-91 RX-7 Turbo II. $5k
Rebuild, street port $2k
Intake, exhaust, FCD, EMS, MSD, tuning $3k
T04 manifold and turbo $2k
Plenty of other supporting mods $?
That is only ~$12K invested with a $4K freedom to build the suspension, upkeep, new wheels, tires, or whatever he wants.

That's really optimistic. I can't think of any way a stock smallblock will get any FD into the 11's, stock engine.
Besides, any RX with a Chevy engine is a bastard car. True RX enthusiasts will not even acknowledge it's presence. Hell, it can't even handle with that whale of an engine up front.
