whats everyones plan for the winter???
getting it ready for the next autox season... new susp, sfc, tires, probably add a catback and hi-flow cats since i need to replace the ones on there now anyways. change all the fuilds and that should be about it. was at the middle of pack last two races this season on bald summers and then crappy all seasons that would not warm up, and the susp has 180k on it, so i figure with some freshening up and good tires my goal is to take over the stock class. car familiarity will help too.

So far it's looking like an oil change and some Patriot Extreme Gold Valve springs to prevent valve float and a trip back to the dyno for some tests! If time and money permit a trip to Atco for new track results, hopefully the weather won't be 70* with a +1200 DA like a few weeks ago!
If none of the above happens it's because I spent the money else where, like the cruise I'm going on, in January! LoL
Around Tax Return season, if the economy is doing alright and I still have a decent paying job, probably sending the car off to a chasis shop for a 6pt roll bar so I'll stop getting **** for dialing 11.30's!

Midwest Fab 9" (on it's way one of these days)
Upgrade to the Lunati VooDoo 232/238 .599"/601" 113
P&P my own 806 heads and install PRC 650 springs and 2.05/1.60 valves.
And maybe a Nano System as well.

my plans drive the car to 100k miles then look for bigger jets...
got 96.6k on the car now
if i can save some cash and dont go buy a new Challenger SRT, i will have Kenny build me a nice stroker motor, id really like to go full race car with this car as it owes me nothing, i really liked that QTP series it was fun... but i got nowhere to keep it safe if i made a race car out of it so it will have to stay a street car for now

I'm gonna need some new drag radials for the street. I really want to try out some ET Street Radials but my Nittos lasted me 2 1/2 years and it's hard to argue with that kind of life span, especially knowing how fast the MTs tend to burn up. Other than that, it's just working on paying the car off, hopefully by the end of next summer. I'm happy with a high 11-second street car right now and I'm hoping to improve a little more come Spring without really doing much else to it.
Down the road I plan on doing a big-time H/C/I setup with TFS 215s, Dominator 2, and 92/92 with a goal of 10.9 or better full weight, but that's some serious money and I'd rather get the car paid off first. It won't be getting a roll cage (at least any time soon) and once that new setup is on the car, it's going to need it. I'd rather whittle my way down into the 11.4-11.5 range working on suspension and a few other things at the current 400hp level before throwing on another 70 or so rwhp. I have enough traction problems on the street as it is with this ridiculous gearing.

In the midst of installing one of my turbo kits on my 96 T/A. Cold pipes are beeing Powdercoated right now... all I have left is to install injectors, gauge pod, 3 gauges and finish wiring the pumps (alky and oil scavenge).
Here is my setup:
383ci (forged internals)
T76 turbo kit using stock LT1 cast manifolds
Stock heads/intake
218/230 114 cam
Single Racetronix intank and 60# Motrons
M6 with Mcleod ST
Stock suspension
Looking for 500-550rwhp on 12psi with the stock heads.

what size stud? i hope 1.180 or 1.175.
also, dont forget when you stud you need tunnle protectors. be sure to get the white ones they are 1/4" longer and work better
