Yep, for some reason, my whole attitude changed when I hit 50...You suddenly have an epiphany, and sit down and see where you are financially...with "retirement" "right around the corner", you start...
Like Dave...too old for that crap...would never even consider it...that would suck all the fun out of it for me...my "laying on concrete floor" days are over...
Fun starts here...

Adding 250hp is a good reason to drop it...get to work...
Have you had the engine out of your car yet?
While it may SOUND like I'm (we're) all being negative, you can't deny how many threads, attempting to make "big power mods" there have been. This is the internet, we don't know anybody. When I see...
Nice...gotta have some off-boost power too...When I built my TT 69 Camaro, years ago, I built a 10.3:1 383 iron block stroker...with an older F.A.S.T it still ran 15-20psi on pump...
Very nice...did you stick with stock compression when you built the engine...or bump it up a little? I think 10 - 10.2 is perfect street car turbo compression, especially with corn.
LOL...quit moving the bees nest I'm wacking...!!! All in good fun...I've never seen a dyno chart of a turbo vehicle that (based on turbo size, of course) didn't spike at 4000-4500, and then drop off...
I bet I know what it looks like...
Yes and No. I didn't buy it as a drag car...but I take everything I own to the strip at least once. I've owned 6 corvettes in my life...I'm good. I've been a Chevy guy since I was a kid. As soon as I...
It's all good. Have fun...enjoy your project...

Thank you...apparently my point is lost on everyone else here...
To the OP...
Through ALL of my posts, the ONLY point I was trying to make, is that you are NOT the first one to try to build a...
Thanks for the clarification Tim...
Yeah...I get it...50-60 year old classic...not a 2003 high maintenance, super rare, over-engineered, one off European sedan. 20yrs ago I paid $11k for a 69 Camaro, as I always wanted to TT an old...
No one said it was impossible...we just said it takes copious amounts of time and money...neither of which most people want to spend on a 15 year old car...and let's face it...we're all gearheads...

Fair enough. I guess being 10 yrs from retirement, my priorities are different now...good luck on the project...I'll be watching for sure...
I am..and being one of the first and few to convert my RS6 to a manual, I can tell you from experience, that your goal is lofty. I had the same intentions as you...but once I had the engine out the...
Yeah. historically, this is typically where we would never hear from you again...but good luck if you trudge on...Make damn sure you hate your money and have lots of time...
No comment...or at least a helpful one...
