Just a suggestion, I think you'll get some responses if you offer more details - is the car a daily driver? street/strip? What kind of power are you looking to make? What other supporting modifications have been done to the car or are you planning(you'll need 'em!)? Is this a budget build or money no object etc. More info is better!

Sorry i meant the say that. The car will probly be a daily driver on days that its nice. I looking to make 1,000 rwhp with 16-18 psi then run 8-12 most of the time. I have most of the supporting mods I need a rear end and I'm waiting on my trans. and the its kind of budget but if i need to spend more then it doesn't matter. Also should I get a kit or make one.
