I dont know im kinda leaning toward the Cadmen SC, but I'm also planning on pickin up a turbo chassis and building the #@%$ out of it. The Ragtop is so damn heavy and its just an N/A engine, I mean if I could get the horsepower to weight ratio closer to 10hp per 100lbs It would be nice but either way, turbo, or SC, Ill end up spending a ton of time and money. I've still got time to deciede, parts are still coming in

A good turbo setup should be able to get you down to about 6 lb/hp.

Come on, the spoiler isn't that bad. There are definitely better ones out there, and I personally wouldn't have put it on there, but its not nearly as offensive as most of the ricer ****. I also wouldn't have painted over the taillight lenses, but then again, I'm a big fan of the way the lights look stock.



You should definitely do something with it to back up the look. I don't really like the Atkin's S/Cs because you can't keep the stock EFI system. Carbs seem so low-tech in comparison. With all the internal mods you have on the engine, you should totally go with a turbo. Slap a big-*** snail on there, and spin your way to heaven.
