Sounds like a very nice car and a good setup. Only thing I would recommend is some better flowing heads and up that spray to a 150 shot.

The 243 have a stage 2 port job. I hope they do the job.

Sounds sweet! Any pics?

Good looking setupm however strap in for the flamers on the Flowmaster exhaust (assuming it's the cross-flow style muffler).....it's known to be a poor aftermarket choice relative to the other options out there. Ironically, mine had Hooker headers and a Flowmaster catback when I bought my car although that setup didn't last long.

No point in wasting money on the 10 bolt, I've been looking into an 8.8 rear from a ford explorer into my fbody

S60 would be your ideal option. To save some money 8.8 fabricated to fit your fbody.

Sounds like a stout setup...I'd agree with the s60 as well. If I didn't get my Moser 12 for a steal that's the route I would have gone.
