Sorry for the late response but I had 970 wheel torque

Does anyone make a suitable, quality kit for this?

Let me save you a lot of money, one you don't need a closed deck for 10s and 11s. I'm guessing that's a 3k savings. I'm really leaning towards a velox trans upgrade. Lets just say that's about 4 or 5k right there. That's a 5 to 6k savings when a v160 swap is completed.

I'm not trying to talk you out of anything I just don't want you to waste your money. I'm willing to help you anyway I can I've been there and done it.

In the recent times since this thread I have decided on a gearset upgrade as opposed to a v160/1 swap. I am still up in the air about the Closed deck because if I ever want more power, I might have to get a closed deck by that point. I want it to be reliable since its my only car in the summer (drive my grandparents RX350 in the winter when they're out of town). I don't want to spend extra money, but I don't want to skimp out either so i'm somewhere in the figuring things out process.

First step on a huge project like this is, IMO, to get a beater car. You WILL have down days with your project and it is much easier to have two cars in your life.
