Default My Plan of Action!

i've been doing a lot of thinking about the direction i want to go with for my car...i think this is going to be the course of action

2002 SS M6
loudmouth-already installed
SLP lid/Holley filter-already installed
lou's short throw-already installed
!cags-already installed
SSRA
FLP headers/ypipe
Weld Pro Star 15x10's
26.5x11.5 MT Drags
Moser 12 bolt w/3.90's (just in case i want to boost or spray some day)
Cam: .224/.224 .563 114
Heads: Stage 2 RGR from Speed Inc.
new springs/retainers/pushrods
some weight loss


then maybe i'll add:
Star Stage 3 clutch
throttle body

appearance mods will include:
new grill
tint
chrome SS 10 spokes
pro kit

i've already totaled the amount, and it makes me sad but hopefully i'll have a strong, somewhat daily driveable car that will run some good numbers and pass emissions.

any suggestions/comments?

the clutch was going to be sort of a "break it when it fails" type deal

sounds like a stout setup just do the clutch the first while the car is down so you dont have to burn out the clutch then replace it.
