Exclamation Where do I go from here?!?!
Alright, I now have a SS3600, BMR subframe connectors, ZR1 17x9.5 with 255/40/17 fronts and 17x11 with 315/35/17 rears, 3.73 gears, SLP Flowpac, Pacesetter LTs, and the TSP true duals... Is cam only a good direction to go? Or what do I need to do?!?! I know a torque arm should be coming up soon... But now I'm lost and need some good advice?

Maybe look into a 12bolt or 9"? Heads and cam would be next...or maybe nitrous.

No way, now how... No nitrous EVER... I like my car too much. And about the rear end... With an auto I hear a 12 bolt is better than a 9"?

DEFINITELY. Your stock 10 bolt is likely to blow up if you plan to go to the drag strip. Get a nice Moser 12 bolt or 9" and then you don't have to worry. Check out our catalog for details.
