help please (making a shoping list for the gto) it's tax time... as some of you guys know,
this winter I added a cam, long tubes, nitrous, ect...
now I need to beef up the drive train to handle the power (and take more nitrous)
I figure I'm going to be spending $2-4K in parts in the next couple months
what I really want is help deciding what order to pick up the parts.
I intend to start with a clutch (McCleoud, Excedy, or Textralia) with billet steel flywheel
soon followed by things like these BNR products
http://www.bmrfabrication.com/GTO.htm
BILLET AXLE STUBS
AS001-L Billet Axle Stub - Driver Side $459.95 ea.
AS001-R Billet Axle Stub - Passenger Side $459.95 ea.
HEAVY DUTY CV SHAFTS
CV001 300M Axle Shaft with Billet CV's $499.95 ea
HEAVY DUTY DRIVESHAFTS
DS003 3.5" aluminum - rear yoke included 900 hp 7200 rpm $899.95
HARROP DIFFERENTIAL COVER WITH POLYURETHANE MOUNT
DC 001 '04-'05 Pontiac GTO $429.95
SUBFRAME CONNECTORS
SFC007 '04-'05 Pontiac GTO $329.95
DRAG BAGS
DB001 Drag Bag Kit $99.95 pr.
HARROP REAR CRADLE BUSHINGS
HBK001 '04-'05 Pontiac GTO $109.95 kit
KONI ADJUSTABLE REAR SHOCKS
8041 1194SPORT Koni adjustable rear shocks $139.95 ea.
also looking at parts like:
Rear end gears (and the spring/shim kit for the lsd)
considering a whole new rear end (harrop now makes a ford 9" and a 12bolt (IRS) for my car) but they are super expensive
gauges (nitrous, fuel, a/f (wideband), and pods)
any other parts I should be putting on the list?
Russ
any suggestions would be great
BTW,
my car is a 2005 LS2 GTO (currently 500rwhp and 600rwtq)
these cars suffer from wheel hop

Dana 60, oh wait that is on my list...
If you do the Mcleod you will have to do the rearend.
I would do them both now. That clutch is an unforgiving bitch, but if you do that first you won't have to do another clutch unless you are Ryan.
