a stick block wont support 500 horses
My 96 GT started getting more and more problems after the mileage started going up.Mbachota97 said:My car has 122k on it and i have a few mods done to it which are n my sig. Ive been deciding to put some p&p heads on there with either a new bottom end or just a newer stock bottem end and possibly s/c or t/c the car. I would be able to spend 6k maybe 7k to spend if i keep. Im thinking about selling and just buying a car thats already been modified instead of doing it myself. Im just really confused on what to do.Also my main goal is really getting 500hp but it doesnt have to happen yet but i would just like to get a 12 sec car atleast if i keep it. Please any suggestions on what to do. Thanks

I wouldn't invest any money into a high mileage car like yours because it is a bad investment.I would seriously trade your 122K mile car for a newer Subaru WRX or STI.
Subaru's are just more reliable and dependable in my experience.
The best of luck with your choice.

I've heard they will handle 600+ but the internals go out way before that. idk
Why does he need to go Pi to get 400?DFG_Ownz said:since you plan on going FI, either build a forged motor to make low compression if you really want 500+...or you can get a PI motor and live with 400.

My points are very valid and you are dead wrong.I am also entitled to myDFG_Ownz said:Pennywise2 said:My 96 GT started getting more and more problems after the mileage started going up.

how many subarus have you owned? Subaru is not know for there reliability, and to say high mileage cars are bad investments, then why are do you see old foxes with new or rebuilt motors so much? You think they all have low mileage bodies.....your points are quite invalid, since putting money into a car period is a bad investment since unless it is a extremely rare car, you will lose money....take you for example, you are putting in a $31K turbo kit into your STI and you wont see any of that back if you sell your car.

own opnion too.Yes, all cars do lose their value over the years but,Subaru
is one of the top five automakers to hold their value over the years and Ford isn't and never will be.If I do decided to sell my STI after installing my turbo kit I will see
a percent of the turbo kit and the value of the car.I don't think I will sell my STI for a longtime because I am a Subaru Master Tech and I can work on the car myself.I honestly do like mustangs even though my 96 GT was a total lemon with nothing but problems and
I would just not buy a Ford ever again that's just my opnion though.Subaru is known
for their reliability I should know because I work on them five days a week.Subaru's
reliability is right next to Toyota,Nissan,and Honda like it or not.I have owned four
Subaru's and never had one issue with them other than having to do regular maintenance
witch is normal.Also my 95 Subaru Legacy lasted 305K miles before my engine needed
a rebuild.You people better have respect for DropTop and this forum if you want to
