Thumbs up whats everyones plan for the winter???

just wondering whats going on for the winter with everyone?
anyone making changes etc?
i plan on re ring/ bearing my motor.
i sold my old heads already and tea is working on a set of 6 bolts for me, they should be bad *** and flow to 800 that said i will be getting a bigger solid roller. i also am going to test one of vinnys new big dawg intakes and hope it makes power. then do a dp set up and a plate so i will have 2 stages
also have a neal chance th-400 getting done right now so between all that i hope to be able to run 200 worth and run the 8.50 class then hit it with another 200 or so and see what she does.
car is all apart motor is all apart already, already started ordering and listing parts etc so im moving along.
whats up with everyone else?

Right now I have an LT1 block at a machine shop getting work done and new internals. Also, assembling the LS1 and gather more swap parts for my Iroc.

And maybe an IEATSRT8 intake for the TBSS. Oh and replacing the brake booster in my '96 Grand Am.

Weight reduction will be the key and getting the car to launch on the trans brake plus the new converter is going to be huge.
