tranny, torque converter, rear end, torque arm, subframes. All that to hopefully not go any slower. Goal is to make the car more consistent.

Man I wish I had a garage. I wouldn't even be doing anything big, but my car needs a few things and it would be sweet to do it over the winter.

so next on the list is get my LCA brackets welded and then try to 'dial in' my launch technique and try to get into the 7's in the 1/8.

also i'm about 2 years overdue on a full detail, and i got some rubber pieces on the rear quarters that wont come off for the life of me.

Get the trans and clutch back in the car, take the car to my buddys shop and start measuring for a solid rear swap, determine if the cost is worth it, get the 9" in and figure out how the hell to keep my computer happy with out the damn IRS, move forward and get a set of decent heads, try one of vinny's manifolds on a stock displacement ls2, if it works spray at least a 100 shot on it, screw the slicks to the rims and make a mid winter trip to atco to try it all out!


This is all dependant on me hitting the lottery or striking it rich at foxwoods......

nothing hopefully! I drive mine all rear round, except when it snows, then I drive my lifted k20 with 350 TPI NV4500. My IROC on the other hand doesnt get driven once they salt the roads at the first real snow storm, so far so, good still driven them all.
