    Set a budget for speeding tickets.

    But seriously, open the bay doors and bomb away, we'll give you answers.

    Pozi is fine for coming off the line, but in the 78 firebird I had, I found it isn't so great for a daily driver. They're noisy, you can feel it engage / disengage, and it wears the inside of the tires.

    In my 69 nomad, I swapped the 350 for a 383 and honestly, the difference wasn't astounding.

    Labor is going to be the biggest cost, so do as much yourself as you can.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    My question is: Have you driven a car on the street with anywhere near 400 hp?
