I was planning on running 6. Im not gonna throw a "shaft" or anything. I said I was gonna quit nitpicking, but your fairly dumb, you don't throw crankshafts, the rods get thrown. A crank will touch the bearings because of the lack of lubrication/spinning too fast/hard. Hate to break this to you guys, but I can buy a camaro, for virtually the same price as 240(same year/miles), and the camaro will have over TWICE the horsepower of a 240. By the time you get a SR and do the bolt ons to get to that power range, you've spent around 4k (at least, i haven't done the math, so i said a liberal 4k).
I only car about cars that are running, the Camaro stock vs. the 240sx stock is a lot more sportier. And unless a car isn't ass ugly and is gonna get me made fun of to no end, I don't really care as long as it performs well. But looks are definetly subjective, I'd say more than 90% of people (that i associate with) would say the Camaro looks better than a S14a stock.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
First off, running 9 psi on stock internals with a vortech supercharger can be done, but eventually you will burn up a valve from getting on it. Second, you are right about the shaft being thrown...I was typing in rush as I was hurrying to get to class. Third, a shaft is broken due to a large amount of torque being transferred in a very short amount of time. As for the dumb comment, I though I was having a conversation. I bet you wouldn't say I was dumb to my face.
As for buying a camaro, good for you....but don't you dare rip into the 240. I wanted one for a long time, searched for a long time, and finally found one about 8 months ago. I'll be damned if some little punkass is gonna talk shit about my car...especially one who can't even afford his own car.
