What would you do with $250?
$100 - Manual tranny setup. I have a manual transmission from pullapart I plan on donating. They have someone who can do the DS. I was thinking a 3.69 or 3.47 rear end might pep things up a bit.
So thats a $150 left.
IC? Not sure if EGT is "safety" related.
Things to do that dont cost money:
Roll Cage.
Strip interior and glass.
Reinforce trunk..
Change the tank setup to load fuel via med kit.
Chop springs?
Rack limiter is removed.
Leave the resonator on and remove the muffler.

We've got a $500 budget to buy and prep the car (minus safety equip which includes rollcage and tires). Car cost was $250. We will be swapping engines with my current car as that was the purpose of the parts car. I have low compression on #3, #4, #5 and hard cold starts. Not a problem in a 24 hr race.
