Greatest Passenger Car Engine of last 25 Years
/\ that wouldn't quite be apples to apples either since the other appointments in my car are significantly better, but the price wouldn't be that far off either.

Greatest Passenger Car Engine of last 25 Years
And I agree that we aren't going to come to any real agreement here, and nor am I taking any offense at our discussions and hopefully you aren't either. My point is that pushrods are antiquated. The cannot hold up to the velocities that new engines require for expanded power curve and effeciencies. Currently pushrod engines valves are capable of reaching 7-8m/s at way most for their peak velocities, overhead cam engines are exceeding 35m/s. This extra velocity allows higher pressurization on the incoming gas, better atomization, better control of the firing, and it goes on. This is key to having effeciency and torque throughout the RPM range instead of really peaky like most pushrod engines. Your engine may "feel" modern now, but my issue is with the flaw of spending money to design something that is already obsolete, it doesn't make any sense. It is true we like a different kind of racing, I don't drag nor do I enjoy driving a drag car around day to day. It seems to half-azzed to me, if I wanna drag a car it won't be street legal. Put me on a track and its a different story, and true this is where having the cams above the heads will make the most difference because the torque curve is flatter and more usable at MANY different RPM's instead of just a few.

Dude your idea of expensive is way off, you spent more on your car than I did....

nope, his is pretty nice i like mine better though I haven't seen yours... AA polys and Vifa XT 25's The XT's are so nice too I am just sitting here perusing my list: Options: Mid: Dayton RS Seas CA18RNX Tweet Seas 27tbfcg VifaXT25 Usher 9950 Some combo will be my front stage at some point....I think.

Bed bars will go. Topper will go on, not for looks or style but out of necessity. Since you reference fsc.com I will probably be mimicing DSZ71's front stage install....unless you guys give me a better or easier idea. It will be a 2 way active + sub.

Looks sweet. Can't wait to hear how you like it when it is no longer the stock speaks. Side question: buddy of mine just got a gti with monsoon and wants an ipod input. Does the monsoon have separate amps or require any sort of rewire? The reason I ask is I doubt he will do more than a h/u, unless it is a VW option. <--weirdo

Probably used the Chevette door bracket, but if so at least brand new ones would be cheap.
