Snow's just water breh.

But I'd get a ZR2 if I could find a way to swing it. I've got teh serious :megusta: for dat.
If I keep the brub tub, I could likely swing a ZR2 in a year when the 1SMP is done. I could probably lease one for around $400 maybe.

Brub tub and ZR2, I like that.

The original plan until bradfax ruined my brain with the SxS distraction.

Thing is, how retard to go with :eeyore: ?

Heads/cam/clutch/4.10 gears is what I'd consider near full.
Cam/Stock clutch/4.10 gears is probably half

Half is still probably adequate :lolol: and could be done rather cost effectively. $2k all-in.

Half retard would most likely be adequate :lolol: but you will always have the "what-if" in the back of your mind if you don't go full retard while you had the easy opportunity.

What's the cost delta between half :derp: and full :derp: ?
I think half :derp: is $2k and full :derp: is $4k?

Full...
Heads/Cam pacakge $2,300
Upgraded Clutch and parts: $800
Gears: $1,000
Tune: $300

$4,400 total

Full :derp: seems too deep to me.

I'd half :derp: and enjoy the additional :lolol: and brubs.

$2k is a lot for such a small HP increase

Dunno, Dplac is focused on money out...

I'd do minimal out and mildly improve the brubs.

Unless of course he looks at it this way:

Dump $4k into the tub, or dump $14400 into a Mulletaro lease. :D
Or $12k into a lease takeover because it's a good deal

Yeah, but he's lumping the clutch and gears into that, too.

Heads/cam would net more than 30-50 WHP, no?
It's mostly the heads for the additional WHP's. He's already doing a cam with the other work he has to do over the winter.

Kind of funny. A cam. One.

Cam is worth 40 give or take. Heads add another 30-50 on top of that.

Cam-only, I'd probably be looking at 380ish whp.

I don't think I'll be doing the lease on a fun car. I'd rather spend the lease money on a solid DD 4x4.

380 is a lot of power to the rears breh.
Man. I've never owned something that powerful. Never driven something that powerful either. Fastest car I've ever been in was a AC Cobra with a 351 windsor making 465 HP on the dyno. That was terrifying.

Right. Since I have to change out the FMS, I'm doing 90% of the work for a cam swap. Cam is going to happen.

Thing is, do I want to do heads at the same time? I'd have ported heads with a custom spec'd cam for the heads for max powaa. If cam only, I'd probably pick something off the shelf.

Basically, if I ever want to do heads, now is the time.

Also, there are no fucking places to enjoy that kind of power around here, which makes the MINI a better car for me.

I'd have gotten 6 tickets in a :poorvette: instead of the 3 I got on the 4th of July.
Haha. I-95 man. :stig:
