that would be the sportlines thanks so calm down. Prokit is just fine. Never had an issue with mine and i’m running Decarbons. Oh wait you never actually had them? Probably just another “I read this over there and they all say this.”:fail:

I didnt get the $$$ quick enough that was the problem with that…
I am open to many different options cars, I guess alot of people here have their hearts and minds made up 100% about what they want to rock
I’m sorry I didnt see the Fast and the Furious when I was 4 and I havent had a picture of Johnny Tran and his S2000 above my bed since …
Other peoples opinions dont make or break my decisions but I dont have many real life friends that are into cars like myself so I do appreciate insight and different mindsets
I am pretty close to picking up one of the 2 Camaros I posted yesterday so these posts of mine should be done until I sell it in 3 days and look for something else
Thanks for taking the time to merge all the threads into 1!

I decided to go with the A4 Pewter SS, I guess the Patriot heads are gone it has AFR heads on it now, basically the engine was built from the ground up at Texas Speed (it was a texas car) and when the guy in MI got it he had Speed Inc change the heads and cam , the TT 2’s and tires are brand new, also it has new FAST 90mm intake, FAST fuel rails, 90mm Nick Williams throttle body within the last several months as well as the Yank SS 4000 …
should be good for mid 11s at least I would guess, it dyno’d over 400 at the wheels even with the A4
I am sending the dude half today and half when it gets here
13k delivered

yeah man, as soon as I get it here, get it registered, get the SES light turned off and inspected it will be out and about
I want to get in a few runs against some other fbods
The previous owner of the car seemed to think it should run low 11s, it has a bigger cam and a bigger stall in it now and is dyno tuned by Speed Inc sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I dunno man, my old Formula did high 11s with a cam and stall only, ls1 intake, stock shitty 98 heads, 3.23 gears, no fuel system upgrades, stock TB, stock Maf, stock trans except stall ect ect
I dunno how fast this thing will run, I will be happy with mid-high 11s
I dont see it doing 10s , I could maybe see low 11s
It does have forged internals so I am going to spray it after I drop a 12 bolt with 3.73s in it next spring
Did I mention also it will be going on a diet ala white hardtop formula???

it just came down to A4 vs M6
I just prefer a stalled auto over a 6 speed, the white car is very nice and the seller is a nice guy, someone will get a good deal on it
