Find a used NX kit for about 450 bucks and run a 150 shot, you will be in the 11's before you know it. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

Some programming, like an HPP3 or Predator. You've already got the low temp thermostat, so it makes sense.

I am in the exact same boat. Take your car to the track and see if the clutch acts stupid, like letting go in 2nd or 3rd, or sticking to the floor. If so, (like everyone's telling me) get the Z06 clutch kit and slave ($299 and $69 from pace). Adding hp goes up in smoke with no clutch. I'm getting a pro 5.0 and probably the clutch kit.
