Auto or Manual? What's the car doing most of the time? Is it a street/strip car? Autocross/roadracing? Drag car?

After modding two LS1 fbodies, I'm a fan of doing the suspension/driveline first before engine mods. Make the most of what you got now and then add power. If you have a 6 speed, think about how hard you are gonna beat on it. If it's gonna see a lot of drag time, I highly recommend getting a new rear end/driveshaft. If it's an auto, then get a stall (matched to what kind of mods you are planning to do). Then, there's so many different ways to go from here. It's all gonna come down to what you are using the car for .

Just think you will need a clutch sooner or later. Probably sooner lol so while you decide on the rest might as well knock it out now
