    Thanks to everybody who has helped me so far but at this point I have come to a decision.

    The car is going to get another stock low mileage motor and a more conservative tune. This is turning into a $6k project and I just don't have that kind of money to be spending. I am not abandoning the car, or the buildup. I am gonna keep the stock block (if its still good) and build it slowly as the money comes in. I just realize that if I do this it will stretch me to my limit. Not over but to my limit and with the additional power I realize more things are gonna break, aka tranny and rear end and that would put me far over my limit.

    Once again thanks to everybody who has done any legwork, pm'd, or shown support to me for this but after 3 sleepless nights stressing over it I am still 21 (just turned June 30) and have plenty of time to build the car up.

    I know how you feel man. I too am at the point where all the next mods will be a bit pricey. Doing a quick rundown of what I need adds up to around $9k. So I'll be taking my time building her up slowly as money permits.

    sounds like a good idea man. i can tell you, that with torque, you will break stuff. thats been my experience so far. thats why i have held back on going twin screw on my car, i can't afford all the other things that will break when i start launching it. so, ported it is. :)
