First, finish the clutch in my truck and get it cleaned up for sale <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
IF I can Get $5,000 for it, then I will get:
Currie 9+ rear with PowerTrax locker and 3.89 gears.
MAC headers with REAL 3" collectors and 3"-3.5" Y-pipe.
Mufflex 3.5" cat-back with Flowmaster single-out muffler.
Cartek or RAM clutch with new hydraulics and adj. MC.
Pro 5.0 Power Tower shifter with the stop-bolts removed.
BMR Drag Trak Pak (SFC, LCAs, adj. Torque Arm).
That and shipping charges should kill $5,000! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

FWIW, I tried out two different tq. arms on my T/A with no help in traction: the Flo-Tech and GW Traclink. They just caused added road noise and vibration for me. I went back to the stock torque arm, and I never had a problem with it. I pulled 1.53 60' times w/ the stock unit. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0"> I'll eventually have my stock tq. arm on my SS reinforced w/ a welded plate to help eliminate flex on the launch.

haha,
Actually the reason I can spend so much on my car is that I bought it used for a GREAT price <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> I paid 15.5K for my 98 Formula with only 16K miles on it <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
I have about 15K in mods now so that puts me right at 30.5 K total in my car. That isnt too bad considering I dont owe a cent on it <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Also I make good money as does my wife so having two incomes helps <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Cheers,
Chris

Installing JPR LS6 S2 Heads and TR224 224 112 cam. I guess the usual suspects come with it. I need a roll cage, 5 point harness, Helmuts and Firejackets. I am hoping for 11.2's in normal weather. Maybe some 10's with the wife driving. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

I wish I had more money to play with. I’d like heads and a bigger motor to go with the other stuff, but I’m just happy I can afford any of it. Be thankful for what you are able to afford, and just keep working towards the rest <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Thank God this car will be paid off in 3 more months <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Looking at:
Ported and Polished heads
Comp Cams "middle" cam
LS6 Intake
SLP Tuned Equal Length Long Tube Headers
Z06 Clutch
Possibly a NOS 5177 Kit, for a certain "person" from Birmingham with a Blown LT1 T/A..... <img src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" border="0" alt="[guns]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" border="0" alt="[fight]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" border="0" alt="[angel]" />
