Ya know what pisses me off? I took my FC into the shop the other day, and asked how much it would cost to get it bored and stroked 30 over.... dude looked at the car for five minutes and told me to GTFO and it wasn't gonna happen. Why doesn't any bore and stroke our engines?!?!?

You mean Louvers?

The vents are there for a good reason. When you start extending the fenders out they start scooping in more and more air, this causes drag. The vents let this air escape and reduce the drag while at the same time aiding in a bit of brake cooling. You don't absolutely NEED the vents though. Any competent body shop will be able to glass over the vents and make it look like they were never there. So if your getting the kit installed by a pro this is really a non issue.

Also would have the stock afm or a map sensor connections too for obvious reasons. plus if u blow your motor just swap to stock ecu and another motor and keep drivin lol
I like that idea, but it probably would be expensive as hell.

With real used\cleaned up rotors and shaft? You would need a beach ball sized bowling ball for that. Good luck getting the bowling alley to not kill you after you toss that down a lane and annihilate their machinery.

Now, if your talking small scale rotors & shaft that would be pretty cool. I'm not sure if you could fit 1 real rotor inside the shape of a standard bowling ball, that might be doable. I'd like to see that. The balance of the ball might be off though.

You do realize that those trannys are typically attached to engines with a redline of like 6500rpm right? Taking them to the 8-9k rpm range may not be a good idea.



I'd like to see a full FG dash. I might convince my body shop to make me one. If I do I'd probably have a few made if people were interested.

No, i meant crate engines in any porting

but peripheral ported would definately be one of the crate engines.

Also a warranty would be nice on the crate engine that is.

But IMO, they look like crap. Drag shmag! Unless its a track car, I dont really think it matters too much. haha

Dude, did you even read everything you quoted? I said you don't absolutely need them and that you could have the body shop just glass over the vents. So, find some fenders wide enough for you. If they have vents glass over them and quit your bitchin!
