A spoon engine, t66 turbos with nos and a motec system exhaust. And you'll probably need some mashimoto zx tires to keep that baby planted to the pavement.

I say RB25DET (single turbo version, RWD I believe), or the non-turbo version, underrated engines and still very strong without the headache of two turbos and much much cheaper. I believe Henry (MotDyn - R.I.P.) recommended the single turbo version to a customer one time and he liked it allot......wait, I know nuffing about engines, I'll shut up now
