Nate,

How much was the clip? What's the distinction between redtop and blacktop? Is it stock, and is it your intent to keep it stock or are you gonna put a large turbo on?

Here is what I understand so I'll leave it to b_drift to correct me if I am wrong:

Redtop came in the s13 205 HP 195 TQ
Blacktop came in s14 210, VVT, 210 HP ~195 TQ
s15 blacktop came in s15 VVT, 250 HP

For now due to cash restrictions this car will be stock power wise. I need to upgrade the brakes and suspension before I do anything else. I paid $3k for this clip delivered to Tom's 1 day after I ordered it, because that is how quick they are. It was delivered by the shop from Georgia. I was originally going to get an S15 250 HP engine, but after talking to Tom and some other 240 guys I found out it I can run mid 12's with the engine I got for less than $2000. So I could either get the 250 HP S15 engine and pay at least $2000 more and have parts much harder to find, or I could chose the engine I got and spend that money on mods and make much more power. I chose the later. I am doing research tonight on my brake upgrade options. I am going to do a 5 lug conversion, 300ZX front and rear 4 pot / 2 pots if possible, and some decent coilovers. I will also be getting a silvia front end conversion in the next month.
