Now, you are definitely going to need suspension/traction. Our cars struggle for grip from the factory, so you can imagine what's going to happen to you. Expect 360-380 rwhp and 330-350 rwtq. I recommend:
subframe connectors (I've got BMR)
torque arm (I've got BMR)
drag radials (go with BFG if they're out yet)
Just my .02, have fun.

Get a B&M Ripper or Pro 5.0 Shifter. You'll thank yourself for it.

The previous owner put them on. TR sells the SFC's for $140 (I have tubular) and the adjustable torque arm for $320.

You are going to have to call and give me baseline numbers and then tuned numbers. If I can get the cash up I am going to go up there and have them put on some stage 3 AFR heads. I am hoping that will put me over 500 rwhp N/A.

Of course. They have to be sold so you would be the first person that I would ask since you need them more than anyone else I know.
