Suggesting a possible sticky
This is just a suggestion and a future possibility .
New comers on every forum always ask the same question
In general "how much will this make?"
So I was thinking why not make a few blanket categories
Like goal#1 if you want 350 rwhp not crank lol these parts will get you there them list alternates like 150 shot but you need x to support this
Then progress from there. One site I been a member of for like 10yrs until they sold out had members list mods track times car weight ect as well
Yes there will always be the " special" ones who have to ask for special advice but that cam always be nudged by linking them to a sticky like this.
In building and modifying there is always more than one way to skin a cat, but you have to start from somewhere.
Brakes, and suspension can be altered in appropriate area's as well if needed.
This is just a suggestion but can't see any harm in getting something started

Documentation will be key here as well
If somebody can produce a dyno
sheet of a starting point then let's say you did every bolt on possible without cracking open the engine and present that can be a category although I despise the dyno I have
To admit generations have changed not to mention tracks have shut down do to economy
Woes this is a last resort for me as well since gateway shut down and the closest track is 2hrs away and is an 1/8th mile track blah!
But for the most part this should be used as a logical tool for newcomers to see what they want as well and have a little hindsight before they are let down when the dyne gods
Don't give them what they want lol

I think if anything, it should be part of a "Frequently Asked Questions" sticky thread, along with other popular ones. If you look at the stickies we have now (in the general 4th gen section), they take up almost a half page, and new or current topics are getting pushed further "down there". Craby had mentioned that he wanted to consolidate some of the overlapping stickies anyway, so....
