Supercharger?? I suppose stricly speaking its a bolt on, but then it may come into your class of "no power adders yet".

It seems all the other bolts ons have already been listed.

I debaffled and sealed my WS6 hood so really i do have CAI on there. Ok, so it sounds like basically the UD pulley, duals, stall, some slicks, and a tune and I'm good to go? What suspension stuff can I do for the best price/performance stuff? Whatever I get i would like it to help my ride on the street too if possible because thats where I am 95% of the time and I don't really like the log wagon feel as my dad calls it. lol. How about lightening it up too? But still maintaining a 100% street driving daily driver type car?

As far as suspension, I suggest you post in the Handling/Braking forum, as there are a lot of veteran fbody enthusiasts that can help you with suspension choice.

Basically shocks are the biggest improvement you can do in the suspension. A set of Strano Sway bars really tightens up corning. A rod/rod PHR doesn't cause any harshness so it's recommended. If you do drag strip launches a set of relocation brackets and LCAs help with traction. Springs aren't really needed, stock springs work great for most.

UD pulley, nittos (work on the street or track) and electric cut-out. Duals would be nice if you have the cash.

Remove the spare tire and get AAA for flat tires. It is handy for when you break at the track too

Light weight K-member, light weight battery. Look in the drag racing section for more weight saving ideas.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks for those couple ideas. I actually already have AAA too... I never thought of that as a way to lighten up my car... lol
