Thu, 17 May 2012 06:01:09 +0000 http://www.akorra.com/?p=232#comment-3975 I have a 1998 Subaru WRX ej20. It would outdo most new cars! New short motor, light weight pulley, 3" exhaust, after market turbo, fuel filter+pump, engine timer, new knock sensor+Idle air control solenoid+MAS Sensor, Blow Off Valve, ECU, After market Top Mounted Inter cooler ect.... Anyway 460hp later and only around $10,000-$12,000 My WRX beats all new cars! So $10,000 for car plus $12,000 for Mods = $22,000 for an unbeatable car? My point is most of these things in this article are cheap, you just have to source...I used ebay.com/Internet and my local performance shop to fit the parts.. I have a 1998 Subaru WRX ej20.

Not much you can do to the 305 (that will make you happy with the speed. Here is what I did. Picked up a new 350 crate motor from jegs 260 hp, for 1,400 dollars they have one that puts out 290 hp for 2000. But just get the one that puts out 260 hp. Change out the cam to a elderblock performer plus .450 intake .450 exhaust. This will put you to about 300 hp with a 4 b carb and headers. I used a elderblock performer manafold, headmen shorty heaers, street pro stainless steel mufflers holy 650 street avenger carb, I think a hci distributor. Stock transmission with only single wheel traction. The car runs in the low 14's in a 1/4 mile. I think when I change the transmission and rear end gear I can get it to the low 13's. The car sounds good and I am happy with the power for street use. So here is what the upgrade to the Monte will cost for 14 second 1/2 mile using the stock trany. motor gm performance 260 hp 1400 cam elderbrock performer plus 150 manifold elderbrock 200 carb holly 670 street avenger (almost to much carb 350 headmen shorty headers 100 each 200 street pro stainless mufflers 50 each 100 hci distributor 180 valve covers 75 air cleaner 50 I am guessing at some of the parts cant remember the exact cost. So for less that 3000 dollars including new wires plugs gaskets etc. Its nice and fast for street use, nice sound also. The 350 small block crate motor is great and easy to work with. If the body is nice paint it and there you go. My 78 Regal was in good shape took all the paint off it, fixed all rust welded in. Painted it Orange with 2 black rally strips, chrome wheels 17-8's on the back 17-7's on the front. Good luck let me know if you would like to see a picture of the car. Hey ChvyMC85
