LMAO.

Actually, I'm much more interested in autocross than I am in drag racing. After I get the rebuild finished I'm looking at a complete suspension overhaul. Tubular k-member/control arms, coil overs, etc.

And as soon as the rear end blows up (its inevitable with the stock 10 bolt) I'm going to be putting in a 12 bolt.

I'm more into road courses myself too which is why I've already begun to upgrade my suspension with the sways, springs (going to replace with coil-overs), trailing arms, toe-rods, tunnel brace and rear end bushings. Going to do the front bushings next. I want to take my car to Infenion soon. At first I was shooting for 550RWHP but now that I'm sitting at 600 I'm thinking 650RWHP will be good. I'll be able to get there just by increasing my boost after I strengthen everything up. I briefly toyed with the idea of a 419 stroker build or dropping this in.

P.S. - Three in a row. LMAO. Just to annoy DG.
Noticed? He's been itchy to merge a 3 in a row all night. You've finally given him the chance.

LMFAO. I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't make a third post.

P.S. - I'm shooting for 340-350 at the wheels. But I'm also shooting for about 3250 curb weight.

I was only referring to your white text.

I would kill just to be at 3,600 rather than 4,000.

With the blower added I'm sure I'm close to 4,000.

Haha. I'm sitting somewhere between 3450 and 3500 right now. But I'm also only at about 300-310 at the wheels.
