Finally bought it!
Finally bought it! After much internal struggling, I decided to go to a local shop (we know the guy there) and talk about buying a 12-bolt. BSM and I took a 1/2 day from work and both went down there and discussed exactly what I'd need and what I'd want. I was given an out the door quote and was going to hold off when the guy was going to throw in a couple of small incentives. I was still gonna wait but BSM pulled me aside and said that I could do it now or do it in the middle of the season when my 10-bolt breaks. It made sense and I've really been itching to put some MT drag radials in it and launch the ***** off it. I ended up ordering it and should get it around January 2nd.
I'm going to use the stock driveshaft until I decide to spray the car or use some kind of forced induction. I went with 4.10 gears and am hoping that between the better launch and the better gear ratio that I'll be able to put the car solidly in the 11.50 range.
I'll be working on the suspension next (I have a BMR torque arm and BMR lower control arms). At some poit in the future I'll get relocation brackets but I'm wondering if I need an adjustable panhard bar just to use the rear (before the LCA relocation brackets)?
Thanks and wish me luck!

If your planning on high RPM launches I would recomend getting a good DS that alum. one won't hold up to MT and hard launches. (esp. if its a m6) Its money well worth spent trust me! I don't think that the panhard bar is a problem though only thing that might be a problem is if you got a girdle then there might be interference I'm not sure on this though see if someone else knows more about it.
