Ever feel like you just don't know what to do next?? I swear, I'm in a slump right now about what to do with my car...I've got just about all the bolt-ons, but I have bigger plans for it. I want to do a Procharged 383, but that is like a year or two down the line. Maybe three? I dunno, I guess I could start by doing my rear and suspension and just slowly change over my car to how I want it. Then maybe move to the transmission, and then finally the motor. Ugh, decisions decisions...

I would do suspension, power isnt any good unless you can put it to the ground. Keep in mind though if you will be getting a different rear in the future make sure that the suspension components you get will work with that particular rear as well or else if not then possibly wait on that.

I recommend upgrading the suspension and rear if you plan on making big power down the road. I don't think it would be fun to have a blown 383 and a 10-bolt rear with stock suspension. You would have trouble hooking then when you do your rear end has a chance of taking a **** on you.

to the orgional poster... if i were u i would work on making ur car being able to handle the power b4 actually adding the power, thats my motto neways...maybe start with a tranny that can handle it, then a rear end, then suspension... then go for the big hp #'s...sou can actually drive the thing and race it more then 3 passes before shes out of commision

No, I know what you guys mean because the car has to be able to handle the power before I should make it. I'm thinking that by doing this in stages, it will be less of a blow in terms of cost. Hell, with what I want to do, I'm expecting to spend at least $20k for the supercharger, motor, tranny, rear, suspension. Not exactly pocket change, but spread over a couple of years, not too bad. Maybe I'll just throw on my brother's NX wet kit for the time being?
