I have yet to see a 3rd Gen upgrade that would cost less than $4000-5000 to be competitive...
David you know I love you so that said I must tell you that all of us have wondered why you purchased the 3 car? Everyone knew that CMC1 was toast. You purchase the car then bitch when CMC1 was killed off. Several of us have wondered all along why you bought it?

I really doubt Gary spent four or five grand for his engine. In fact I bet he has less than that in the one that when boom at NOLA and the one he is replacing it with.

You do not need big brakes......James proved that this year. I bought the Wilwood kit from Don on the national board for $600.00 and I have them working great. The only thing I like better about the Stoptechs is the rotors. I go through four to six $60.00 rotors a year and Michael has not changed his in two years. I could purchase the Stoptech rotors but at over a grand I can go three years just to break even. I am considering getting them just so I don't have to screw with changing rotors. My pads for the Wilwoods cost $140.00 and they are double the thickness of the Cobras. I use only two sets a year!

You don't need $1600.00 shocks. I know James was not even running racing shocks a while ago and he has been fast since I started racing.

Get an engine in that POS and come race with us mid-pack slackers. Hell at ECR last year I was glad your boy did not have the extra power as it took all I have to keep him behind me.
