Finally bought my TG

Well it only took 2.5 years but I'm back! Just worked with a fellow OSO'er and closed the deal this afternoon. I'm really happy with the purchase. I have some work to do, since I'll be repowering with 525's (I do believe) but it's officially a done deal... what a relief!!!

congrats, cigs rock! i like the flag paint job even though the american flag seems to be in bad taste in some states these days. :mad: good luck with it, what drives and power are in it now? as stated above you might want a few more doggies than 525 a side :D

Thanks All! Don't mind the opinions about motors... I'm rally thinking reliability but don't want to be a slug. I have a wife and 2 kids so I'm not looking to be part of the 100MPH club, but would like to be part of the 80MPH club. Keep the advise coming... OSO is awesome for this!

Re: Finally bought my TG
 
You might want to go a little bigger than 525s' if your wanting to get 80. Maybe 600SC?
Congrats on your new purchase

Nice! :cool:

525's will not get you anywhere near 80mph. FYI mine runs 72 w/ 500efi's. I think 80mph is tough to get too w/ a full cabin TG and bravos. My 97 lipship, kevlar, covergirl cabin ran 80mph but was hard on drives and TONS OF FUEL! w/ 600's. Be happy w/ 74-75 , keep it turn key!

As has been said you are going to need about 700 a side to get you to a solid 80. 525s should get you to 70 everyday and there is something to be said for reliability.

You can build up to 700-750hp naturally aspirated that will run 89-93 octane and not risk any reliability. You'll also get hundreds of hours on them.
