How fast do you want to go?
I have seen the previous posts & all I see is complaining.
No ground work or plan layed out to what your goal is.
Do you really need a set of $1300.00 rocker gear, when a $400.00 set may get you to your goal.

I'm always put my family first & plan my budget for my race car.
Get a plan, & there is guys & gals on this forum to help you achieve your goal.
By the way, I'm one of those MOPAR or NO-CAR guys.
