However, when I was 19, like you, I didn't feel my car was powerful enough ....... so, I "fixed" it..... 
What did my engine dyno out at? Hell, I have no idea ..... back then, "power" was measured in how many Fords & Mercurys I could beat in a 1/4 mile ....

Lol i salute you for your experience and mean no disrespect, but the means of when you were 19 and and me now are completely different ! I devote my time completely to my education and my money as well. Paying for this car is already enough, im not planning to invest it to make it faster, it doesn't bother me that much anyways. I was just trying to make a point that everyone has different taste, and more options would be appreciated but you quoted my comment out of context lol.. i think old farts are those that constantly claim this car is perfect as it is, and when some young kid makes a remark about this car, they get there panties in a bunch. basically fixed mindset..
Nice build btw, would love to hear that engine!!
