True my goal is to show some stuff to some of the muscle cars that bark all across the roads here in vegas. Of course i don't except to be beating every car left and right, just have some good power, reliability, and a fun ride to drive. The previous owner had the front brakes converted to 93 teg gsr, cheap ass coilovers (which i'm gonna remove and replace with some skunk2 springs), no-brand headers, no cat, and unknown exhaust. Still has alot of work, but willing to make this a fun little rice rocket.
On boosting, what's a good amount of boost to run on the streets, to minimize engine wear, yet provide solid power, and what kind of power would that be? You're right, 200lbs+ torque would be crazy, but couldn't one strengthen the chassis a bit to handle that?
