11 sec. build cost?

After reading over this thread again I've realized a few things.

We're probably getting way ahead of the game here with what he can afford or do skill-wise. Maybe the first steps that should be taken is (1) take it to the track and see where it's at now, (2) determine a realistic goal that he can achieve on his own and on his budget, and (3) help him achieve that goal with solid advice.

You don't jump into spending tons of money and building a fast car without knowing the basics of tuning and maintenance. If his car is a 14 second car, let's get him through the 13s with tuning and driving tips, then talk about spending money. Just my $.02
