My $.02, go with a nice 231/231 cam and a converter which will get you over that 400rwhp mark, a tune, and then drop the rest into suspension. LCAs, relocation brackets, torque arm, shocks and springs.
thanks numer uno!
yea i think i would prolly like the auto cross route better for now... i wont make my car a full out drag car untill i have another toy... and have the cash to drop a 408 in there

i think the route your mentioned is the way ima go... the hard part is just going to be finding all the parts for good prices in order to get everything before i run out of cashola...does gregg still have those sportlines? cuz i defenatly want them.. i just havnt had the cash.. ill send the money as soon as i can tho! i guess the best way to get all the suspension stuff would be to get it used.. cuz that stuff really adds up.. its like over 400 bucks just for LCAs and torque arm...

Check this site and LS1.com for used part, people sell them all the time and are willing to negotiate in some cases. Yeah, Gregg still has the sportlines, I think Jesse is trying to sell them to get some LT1 springs or something.
