42r with 1600ccs and aem. That is if your looking for 800whp. Care to elaborate and let us know what your goals are?

Well, I don't plan to get too much into racing, but I will probably race every once and a while.
This summer Iplan to do as amny free mods as possible, but i'm not quite sure where to start with them! I plan to do free mods this summer because they are easy, and I want to use this summer to work and get money so I can get things for my car.

Here is a handy site for you to read. Lots of tips and tricks. See www.vfaq.com and start reading. You can also look at Buschur's site or AMS or whoever and get an idea on what path to take.

It really all depends on what your HP goals are and/or how fast and reliable you want it to be.

Well, it's my first acr, and I really want it to last, because I love the car!
I have been to that website!

Thats the best site to start out on. Also dsm.org will help some. Even thou they have not updated in years. But like stated do you want to have a 13, 12, 11, or 10 sec DSM for this summer? Hp can be easy to have with the right mods. We plan to help but you need to tel us what you want out of the car.

Establish goals, search classic vendors for staged upgrades, search.
Vfaq.com is your friend.
Also what is an ACR? you stated its your first.

I don't even really know! lol
Well, I really want to get good gas milage as well as a fast car!
I know you guys can't help me if I don't know wat I want, but yeah!
I guess I want a car that is raceable, but yet a good fuel efficient daily driver car, if that helps at all!
