About 180
Im no pro on upgrading cars but from what I do know I think that the best way to gain more power aside from small HP jumps is a new engine but Id have to do a ton of research

nah, you can make power without a new motor.

a simple rebuild will suffice.. up the boost. turbo timers, methanol injection.

tons of stuff to do. but if you really are going to go the route of making all wheel drive burnouts i suggest making everything tip top first. brakes steering etc. then go for the power.

going fast doesnt mean shit if you cant stop.

True The only reason I want a new engine If Im going to do this is so that I dont have to stress my current engine to put out that much power , but ill be doing all the non engine stuff first and will prolly be satisfied by that

yeah, if you are hellbent on a new motor.. get the block, get the internals all the new aftermarket pipping for the turbo and slowly build while doing the suspension/brake/steering upgrades on your already running motor.

that way your not down a vehicle but for the weekend when you stab the new motor in.

also, think about what your goals are and if you are going to need a new trans or not.

Yeah I plan to do suspension before a new motor , I actually want some shocks and struts that raise my car instead of lower it and ones that are tuned for off  road kinda

no fun in that man..

your sitting on a gem.

i would rather be paying for parts than a car payment. fuck that noise.

and this is coming from someone who has worked as a dealer (service side) for the last decade.

thats the whole point of having fast cars man.

gotta build a relationship with them.. which means... building/running/breaking/fixing them.

cause if you do anything to a new car which is exactly want you want and you go out and mod it, guess what, that warranty that you are paying for is one foot out the door.

Heres what i was thinking

my car  2500 car value
restoration to everything working ~2-3k(mainly AC Cosmetic issues Wiring)
Dsm tuner puts 275hp-300hp at 3500


Infiniti g35x (used)around early 2000s 10k
already 300hp
has a system thats decent
AWD
Everything is working
Warrenty Is gone If I wanna turbo it
AC


Either way Its an Investment

i would stick with what you have, you mentioned about having great credit but financing a 10 year old car is tough man.
