Ive built racecars too and I love the optimism of these people. Its always slightly depressing to have to explain to them “Buddy, if there was an affordable way to easily make 1000 reliable HP without sacrificing anything for a reasonable figure. We would all have done it.”
A common thing I’ve told people starting out is to find a class or race you want to compete in and build the car for that. It’s almost always cheaper to have one race car and one street car than it is to have a car that tries to do both.
