Suggestions are welcomed!!

I am new to the Super Coupe scene. I own a 1989 Red Supercoupe with 118,000 miles. It is totally stock and I was wondering what upgrades should be done first. I would love to hit the 300 to 350 hp range.

To get into that horsepower range reliably, you'll need a new engine. An expensive one. And a driveline to back it up. From what I've read here over the years, it's a never-ending cycle. I keep my cars stock, so this is not first-hand info. You can do some searches and get a pretty good idea of what it takes.

Personally, if I were inclined to do a modified SC, I'd build a modest 351 and drop that in.
