Get a MAFT/with air/fuel meter or LS1 edit. Or you could wait until C.A.T.S. tuner comes out. Cheaper and same functions. Drag radials and suspension also.

It really depends on what your budget will allow. Do you like to road race or prefer the strip?

I agree w/ Postal, it'd be nice to hear what you want from it. Typically Fbodys are dragstrip cars, but can be made to handle beautifuly. If $$$ isn't an option, hell go all out. Ported heads, cam, stroker kit and so forth. A little bit larger cam wouldn't be that horrible, but an LS1edit program will probably be worth the cash, especially if you're wanting to do other things later

Ling brings up a great point.

There's suppose to be a soon to be realeased tuning program for out cars. Can't remember what it's called. I guess either way or route you go. Your going to eventually need some form of tuning. Better to invest in your own instead of sending the puter out to have someone else guessing at it. Just for an example. Buddy helped this guy tune with LS1Edit. He has all bolt ons, no internal mods on his 01 T/A. He made a hair over 360 at the rear wheels. I mean that's not the best here, but it sure ain't to shabby for just bolt ons.
