How many miles on transmission?

If auto, get some 3.73 gears and a 3600 stall.

Rebuilt engine and while it is out have the heads ported and add a nice cam for some more power

New rear after you get all that power

Drag radials

New plugs, wires, o2's

Just my .02

the first thing you need to do is take those SS badges off and put z28 back on.
