anyways, nice idea, like to see it materialise, but personally, i dont think you quite thought of all things on this, goodluck
1 im an electrician, mechanic and entrepreneur.2. its a very rare car(s12 hard top SE), its light and rwd, and its super clean. plus i want to put a fire under the s12 aftermarket.... and this isn't my only race car, i have a v8 powered rx7.3. nitrous is very cheap and very reliable.4. the whole setup has already been checked out. the car runs right now with no problems. the only things in the end that will be oem is the crank and bare block/heads. but it will be a progressive build.5. straight cut because its stronger and cheaper then billet helical gears and i like the noise they make. plus ill only be upgrading once i break the stock s***.6. they make r200 diff centers for pathfinders etc. but im not 100% it will work for me, and plus if it dont fit then ill just get something else.
