    the same applies if your not blowing the tires off and spinning at launch you can handle more boost.

    Another update. I forgot i had a broken AFC 2.0 so i sent it off to easy performance for repair. I also bought a nice looking set of old school ZZP Fuel Logs but i still need an adjustable FPR. So pretty soon ill be upgrading the fuel system again. Ill be using a walbro 485 that will be directly hard wired into the FP hotwire harness. Id also like to convert to AN line. I also need to pick up a cartuning deep trans pan soon.

    I think I've taken this car as far (or farther) than I wanted to go. I've been weighing my options for the last month and I decided to switch platforms. I'm not sure if I want to sell the regal outright or just part it out.

    Parting out will take longer, but it'll net you more $$$ for mods on the next project. Plus you can put it back to stock and sell it for a decent price.

    It's pretty rusty. It will most likely be parted and scrapped

    Depending on what's in the trans, it could be worth more than the car as a whole.

    Grand Prix's and regals are going for 1000-2000 in my area with the same rust level. I realize that mods don't really add value and parting it out would get me more cash but, I found a new car that I like for 4000 so that's why I'm asking that. Plus I don't have the time to pull an engine and trans plus shell a car.

    I'm not totally hating but when the body is gone in the next few years it's not worth it. Mods don't add a major value to the car like you said.

    Which I've already addressed. I'm asking 4K hoping someone will give me close to it, drive it a bit then part it themselves so I don't have to deal with it. I'm just sick of this platform. Well maybe the facebook group of 3800 lovers. But I'd like to get out of the 3800 scene before I end up dropping 2-4K on a clean shell, then like 4K on gmr parts. To me that's Ls money for a wbody
