do it and then spray the crap out of it. you will run mid 12 on a good tune

thats originally what i was going to do... the motor should run u about $1100 to $1500. but i decided to put a mach 1 motor in mine... found one for $2800 the PI motor install will cost around $1200, but the mach 1 will cost me $1900 everything should bolt up... but u may want to look at getting a new tranny since u have alot of miles on there if u plan on doing alot to the car...

98k is NOT lot of miles on these cars when they are maintained properly. Regular maintenance etc.

+1, guys have had 300k+ miles on these motors without issues. why do people insist that 98k, 100k, 120k, etc is such high mileage. they are just barely breaking it in
