I am not trying to be an *** by saying this.... but is this guy serious?

I mean 1400 rwhp street car sounded ridiculous to me right off the bat, and now he is talking about winning money on the streets racing other cars? Sounds like something a teenager would want to do after watching F&F for the first time.

It has nothing to do with how the car is set up. You can build it and dump $100k into it with the best parts available, but the fact is, you are working with a rwd platform. There is something called TRACTION. With 1400rwhp, there will be no traction on the street.

Well it will definitely be a monster. That is for sure. Best of luck. I wasn't doubting you or anything if you are wondering.

ProEFI traction control does work.

Sad thing is my dd has some rod ends on them too, so I have to do the same to it, just more often. Sure, the uca enabled me to achieve the goals that I wanted, but i wouldn't recommend it to everyone, especially if you don't work on your own car. stick with stock, or just get the bushings replaced.
