Hi, I love cars and have built up a few, I really loved my Hurst/AMC 1969 Javelin SST. Much modified 343, Borg Warner t-10, special intake and exhaust, in factory "Big Bad Orange". Nothing on it that didn't make it go or stop. The police always followed me around, but never got me. Ran the mid-high 12s. I do admit that some of the work was done by the performance section of the dealer as they ran it for a while. I just made it a bit better. Hearing the un-silenced carb sucking air was always a thrill. You could drop silver dollars through the bores. But that digresses. I only diy something I can't buy or I can do better at a reasonable cost. Thus all my amp designs. I wanted great sound, but didn't want to mortgage the house to get it. Diy is not for the easily discouraged though. Stuff often won't do what is wanted on the first try. But you can use it as a learning tool. Try something and see what happens. Regroup and modify if it is not as desired. And as a word of caution with respect to audio diy on the web.....don't put too much stock in something that is supposed to be the greatest thing on the earth and be equally wary of negative comments on projects. (I get a few of each and neither is usually on target).
