I know your trying to help but seriously If I dont do this to my car, make it into something I can daily drive with out getting 12 mpg and run 28's I will need a new car or sell mine and loose ALL of the money I put into her. wich I really dont want cause every single penny I made since fall of 04 (around 3 grand) is in it.
OK, this thing is getting old fast. See, the thing is, you change your mind every 10 minutes. Plus you are only what, 14? You have time to get it right, but you come off via your posts that everything is an emergency that needs to be done right now - kind of a spoiled attitde. And you seem to get mad when people disagree with you, even if you asked for opinions. Now, some of that could be a tone, etc., lost in the world of the internet. Communication can be hard, even for old pros.

Make a plan & stick to it. As a project manager, I know that is the only way to succeed. I have basic plans for both my cars, including potential variations (motor selection, for instance). More importantly, I know what I want to achieve for both cars. And the plan for either of them is not a 30 mpg, 11 second trophy car that stops 100-0 in 98 feet and pulls 1.05g on the skid pad, with ac & the interior quality & sound of a new Lexus. Unless you spend $250g; and even then most of those goals cannot be reached together. You have to decide what realistically you want to acheive.

Do the work yourself, with help & manuals, and learn. You have yet to take that advice from a number of people, me included. There are a lot of smart people around who are willing to help, you just have to really want the help.

Good luck.
