The Pearl Project Plan:

AMS KA24DE Rebuild Kit (8.8:1 Pistons, no oversize)  
Hotshot CAI  
AEM Management System

Suspension:  
Debating between 2 setups right now:  
D2 36way Coilover kit (replaced cores due to freezing)  
or

Suspension Tech rear sway bar  
Front strut bar

Possibly custom rear strut bar and custom front sway bar

Paint it lime green, get a “blitz” bodykit, and put a massive wing on it.

Sounds like a hell of a build up! When are you planning on getting all of these mods done by, Chris?

Thanks Steve… And FUCK NO… if it gets a paint job it’ll be to redo the color…

I plan to get it done (hopefully) by the end of next year… suspesnsion by the end of december (money permitting) and the turbo build up by next december…

I hate having low funds… i’m trying to do the require sooner (stupid 13 year suspension… rolls like a cheap whore… if you think i’m lying watch mine on the 30th…)

It’s a bit on the pricey side but the suspension is $2k and the turbo build up should be about $5k …

the goal is 270-280 whp with 280-290 ft tq… if i can hit that i’ll stop and build up another car…
