Take the stage 3+ clutch out, get it rebuilt and get two new front tires. I haven't learnded my lesson yet with this clutch. Going to give it another try with the new gears since I have witnessed this clutch work well in 10 second cars pulling 1.5 60' times.

Done most of my mods that I thought would surely get me into the 11's but I found out making a few pulls on the dyno that I need a full dynotune. So that and some pacesetter longtubes that are curently getting coated and hopefully 11's here I come in the spring.

My plans are to get this 97ws6 formula on the road by spring. I'm getting the 383 with ported trickflows put together as quickly as my budget allows. I'm missing tons of external engine parts and wanna do the ls1 lid mod. Unfortunately I am a roofer so as the winter comes my cash flow slows.

i plan on doing some weight reduction, body work, maybe getting LE1 "budget" heads with ported intake manifold, ls1 lid conversion, fuel line relocation, ABS delete/line lock, maybe AC delete, tunnel mounted torque arm, and I would love to find a good deal on some good springs/shocks combo and most definitely a dynotune

Poly motor/trans/rear suspension kit, box stock panhard rod, racetronix fuel pump and new o2 extensions, finish wet nitrous install with msd window switch, decide how big of a shot i'm going to run (100 maybe 150), send pcm back for mod updates, reset the rear diff clearances, window motors, make some t-top shades and maybe a little more weight reduction.
Oh and finally get this thing back to the track. Haven't been there since I bought it with nothing but an intake and shift kit back in '07. Since then i've done 3.73's, cc503 and full valvetrain with 1.6's, M6 swap, pacesetter LT's, cut-out, mail order tune, refreshed motor with forged pistons (upped the compression a bit), minor weight reduction, ewp, tons of maintenance and a few other things im sure i forgot.
So hopefully I'll be seeing some big improvements over my lame 13.8 i ran two years ago. Don't have a clue what times to expect either. Oh and I'm in florida, so racing season has just begun for me lol.

Ive got a few plans for the formula this winter...LS1 front and rear brakes and a 10Pt bar. Reinstall the carpet, front seats and the interior panels(currently gutted). Pull the lt1 and part it out...then slide a H/C/N LS1 in its place. waiting for the flaming to begin....

I'd do the same thing if it was cost effective for me.

Send my flow sheets off to llyod to have him grind me a cam, purchase the EFI connection LSX kit, put everything together, install it with a UMI k-member, then plumb a braided fuel system and have it dyno tuned. Looking forward to the faces of the guys at my speedshop when I tell them that my car is now a 93 body with a 95 block and a 98 computer/ignition system

Then I still can't drag it until I get a new rear end under it, since it probably wouldn't survive the first dead hook.
The "To Do" list is getting MUCH shorter
