what am i missing?
i know another "what mods next?" post....
well all my mods are in my sig.
my tuning is almost done!
i should be laying down around 380-390 at the wheels.... so what next?
the car is a weekand car only... no 1/4 action but a lot of street racing....
so far im thinking just little stuff, id like to lauch a little better, and loose some weight if i can....(the car, not me)
this is my possible list so far....
-BFG comp ta drag radials
-remove A/C (still debating this one)
-BMR rear sway bar
-SPEC stage 3 clutch (not sure which one but 3 sounds right)
well what am i missing?
and what else should i get? (besides 12bolt)(that comes later?)
any info would really help!
im not ready to stop modding my car yet!!!!!!!

Your stock clutch and rear-end are going to get torn apart pretty soon with 400 horsepower if you drive it somewhat hard. Remember, power won't kill your rear-end, the shock and load+usable power will. However, I would get the 12 bolt before you blow it, not after.
>>-BFG comp ta drag radials<<
This will blow your 10 bolt almost instantly, so get these after you get that.
>>-remove A/C (still debating this one)<<
I can't comment because I am not you. If you want to lose some weight, get a new front suspension, lightweight radiator. Getting rid of your A/C is something you have to decide.
>>-BMR rear sway bar<<
Always a fine mod!
>>-SPEC stage 3 clutch (not sure which one but 3 sounds right<<
This one is my choice! Your 10-bolt will still die very soon, and this will not help, but it is definatly a good mod to get. I have never seen anyone put a Stage 1 on an LS1 with 400 horsepower, so I am assuming don't get that one. Stage 4-5 are waay to big for your car (looking at a sponser's blurbs right now) Stage 2 looks fine, but I don't see why stopping with that. Stage 3!!

I think vinyl stickers and neon frame lights...great for performance. I would say 12 bolt before it gets too late. A set of 4.10s and 33 spline axles and you will be able to launch and continue to build it up some more. You would have to be insane to drop AC in CA, especially if you are Saturday cruising. T-tops off at the beach no AC, night cruising in Gaslamp no AC. Driving up to San Bernardino in the summer or out to Vegas...AC!!! Just get a set of pulleys, you will be fine.
