Critique my plan if your bored :)
So goal is mid to low 11 seconds on the juice but a good DD if I wanted it to be. Also would still like the wife to be able to drive it as it is still really her car Budget is seriously low so I can't go crazy....
1st stage:
-3200 Vig (got it for 300 used less than 3k miles will be sent to PI for check up)
-Either 3:73 or again budget setup maybe a whole 3:42 rear end so I have my 3:23's as backup.
-I'm working with Ellis on what the tranny is going to need at minimum right now.
-TNT 75 to 100 shot
-Wolfe bolt in Roll Cage
-QTPs 9.5's on stock Z28 wheels
2nd stage
- Futural F13 on a 114
- Budget heads, either the ported TSP LS6 heads or some ported Darts
- Pacesetters with TSP catted Y-pipe (this could easily change to Kooks if money allows)
- Performance rebuild of the tranny
- Fuel system and a 100-125 shot
So thats what I'm throwing around right now...the 1st stage I expect to be done by May, and the second will probably be this winter or next spring. The only things I have so far is the TNT kit, tires and the Vig converter so everything else is up for discussion. Trying to keep it around 4-5k so if I can find deals on used parts I will ****** them up...
What does everyone think? Any better ideas??

If I could talk to your wife I would tell her to go get herself another car!

LOL I bought her a BMW but its not a "convertible" so now she has two cars. I on the other hand have an old S10 blazer which hardly seems fair. SOOO yes I am working on the Mark plan But she does like driving with the top down so I'd like her to still be able to enjoy the car on nice days.
I REALLY hope my wife never starts looking on this site....I mean she knows but she doesn't KNOW...kinda like I know how much her shoes cost...but I don't KNOW

Is this for the C Z, or the V Z Bobby? If it's for the C, do you have tuning software for a 98? Either I think way 11s should be possible. But you better start planning on buying her another car. Eventually they figure out what you've done.....

Hey Mark,
I Sold the Z06 a guy gave me a good offer and I agonized about it for 3 days then sold it. I sold it at a price that could buy another low mile Z06 easily. I'd already sold quite a bit of the mods on it. Just didn't want to post after I posted I was all excited about keeping it After the baby is here and everything goes well I'll either buy another Z06, C6, Trailblazer SS or maybe even wait a little while longer for the new Camaro.
I bought Jyla a 328i 4 door BMW with lower miles pretty cheap, and have tinted the windows and bought some M3 wheels just so she'd drive it But the plan is working she loves the vert but the comfort and sensibility of the BMW is starting to sink in....I have her trained good though the salesman was pretty incredulous when my wife was complaining about buying the "plain" BMW and how we'd have to do this and this right away.
As far as the vert goes she agreed to the roll cage which is basically giving the car over to me modding and racing it. She would still like to drive it on nice days. We've already talked about the mods and the nitrous and she's cool with it.
