Alright here's some background info:
about a year ago I sold my ka-t car. it was a base model s13 fastback. the guy who bought it from me is my bro-in-law.
after he had it the mods now were:
t3/t4 60-1, ported and polished head with billet custom ground cams, haltech, forged rods and pistons, spearco custom designed FMIC setup, tial BOV, extrude honed intake manifold, injectors, act 4 puck (nx4-xt-r4), fidanza flywheel, and some other bolt ons. including kaaz 2 way. had a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft, volk te-37 17's with 555r's, bogart 8" w/ mickey thompson et streets pizza cutters up front, apex'i coil-overs. he built the car for a drag car but never really got it to where he felt ready to put it on the track so the most he did was trailered it down there with his mustang, and let the car sit in front of the trailer while he ran the mustang (both had lettering for his company on there, a plumbing company). about a month ago he was backing the car out of the trailer, and the ramp broke (it had previously been repaired but not well enough apparently). the car fell landing in the middle, bending the chasis beyond repair and bending the driveshaft.

so here's my options: buy the car back for $3k and put the motor into my se body. os-giken 6spd conversion, new driveshaft, maybe modify a few other little things, I think the reason he couldn't get it to run right was the cams so get PDM's new billet cams for it. maybe upgrade the haltech to a newer windows based program, thinking aem ems. different turbo w. ball bearings and possibly different wheels. couple other little differences. probably spray it too.

or I can buy a vg30dett and find out how that one guy did the swap and build that motor for hella power.

here's the problems though: I need to fit into certain classes at the track. with the ka-t it fits into pro-4 where with those mods and a good driver (me) with experience in the car it should be fairly competitive. with the vg it goes to I believe hybrid 6 or pro 6 where it will easily get blown away by other cars like rx-7's, supras, etc. so I want people's opinions on what they would do here. and no don't say sr or rb or something dumb like that because thats not an option.
