lose the 35's, and start from there..
or keep'em, but it's going to be really hard to get the thing to really scoot..

your going to need a power adder to get that thing moving. Put a supercharger or turbo to get those big tires spinning.

if you call the bang the motor blowing up, and the buck the money you spend to fix it, then I would agree.

Biggest immediate bang for you buck is nitrous. If plan on going through about 100 bottles like dirt_track_racer_81, the best bang for your buck in the end will be a supercharger or turbocharger...

That is where I was headed. All the reading I have done while lurking here, it looks like long term bang for the buck is a turbo or supercharger.
