Headers, LS6 intake, home ported tb, and a used set of ET Streets for the track.

rear LCA's, subframes, (maybe adj. panhard), torque arm, possibly 3.42-3.73 gears (i went 10's on mine for a while with 3.73's), home ported t-body, ls6 intake, cheap headers & or Y.

you will be shocked what you can do with some boltons and decent suspension!

one think i have learned is anything i can buy used and in decent shape or really cheap > new somethings are not included but basic stuff you can get good deals on, save some money, and go faster for the same amount of $$$$. ebay and here (for sale section) is probably been the biggest help to me by far.

Close. $500 for nitrous, $300 for ET Streets and $100 for assorted liquor. With a 26" ET Street and a bottle on those 2.73s & the converter, it'll run pretty good.

Actually, it all depends on what you want out of the car. If you just want to go fast, take the nitrous route. If you're wanting something you won't have to maintain, long tubes (to finish off the exhaust), a tune and subframe connectors will help a lot.

I like rear gears and sticky tires...and a used nitrous kit...if any money is left..get subframe connectors..you'll need them.
