Weight reduction, getting rid of the Nitto's for M/T's would make the car a little faster but no power gains. Maybe Aluminum Flywheel and LS1 DS to free up a couple ponies, maybe the TB Bypass which is simple to do and dyno proven to give 5-6rwhp. Could do more suspension like k-member, lca relocation brackets, shocks and drag springs etc. etc.

Winter is getting old here, how about you?

Already have the TB by-pass and cant use LS1 DS, I have a S60 and a Strange DS rated to 800hp. I would have to cut down a stock shaft and worry about it snapping
Nittos are my street/strip tires and when i pick up some drag rims they will get MTs.
Is there anything more I can do for power???
Suspension is on the short list after the clutch.

if I were in your position...

I would get in touch with EFI connections about their cam sensor and such that allows you to run a SBC with an LSx PCM. I would buy an aftermarket SBC block, run 427-434 cubes, some kickass heads, a big solid roller, single plane intake with an elbow, and make 650-700 hp while keeping the RPMs at a reasonable level.

in order to make a lot more power than you're making you're going to have to convert SBC parts. why not just go the other way around and end up with something better?

Becuase Im an Lt1 fan and I know its as capable to make the power I want! 1000rwhp is not impossible with a LT1 and thats far beyond my goals.
I may end up switching to carbs someday though.
