Rookie 3.0 rebuild

[Amstaff]

I really like it, good power all the way around and revs up quickly. I only street drive it but love to rev it up once in a while (ok, a lot!). My car is pretty light also so I am sure that adds to the cars performance. I did add a nice B&B stainless exhaust to it but other than that I just drive it.

This is what the car looks like now

Tom,
Thanks for getting back to me. Sounds like you’re enjoying it a lot. I’m going to give it some more thought, but so far I’m really starting to think I’ll be really happy with a lot less power than I originally thought.

It is definitely a slippery slope that can get expensive quickly. Pistons and cylinders, big cams, head work etc can easily add $5,000 to your build and unless you are racing it you really won't ever get a chance to put that $5,000 to work.

Actually, when I sent my heads to Ollie's they talked me out of doing $1000 in head work for exactly that reason.

Thanks for the feedback. I have some soul-searching to do before i break out the MasterCard.
