Well I'm just a Military Vet Married to an Active Duty Military wife. Wouldn't say we are rich by any means for damn sure. Hard work and patients have provided me with what I have. Been fortunate enough to move up a little at a time over the years. I prefer to do it once and do it correctly for any serious race effort. Seen the result of inferior parts. Horsepower costs money and to build ANY of the bug three makes to 1000+ hp the cost does not vary much. One reason I have not had my new car out since selling my old one three years ago. Takes me time to build what is necessary to make the power I want to.
