01fxst = You started with a good bottom end so that you can always go up from there.
VF1000R = What is in your motor? I will definitely post chassis dyno numbers when I am done. I am trying to decide whether to tear my 96 apart or find a different chassis, having a hard time ripping apart a car with 17,000 miles on it.
CamaroRacing12 = Thank You
Ya I like Golan's, I talked to some other shops but they seemed kind of full of themselves.

brad, if you can swing it, get another car for the fresh motor. Once you start working on them and I don't care how carefull you are they start to show the wear and tear. That would be a shame for one that only has 17k on it.

That is the truth and I know from personal experience. But in the end it's worth it since you have a beautiful car that's set up just the way you would want it instead of an alright car with the setup you want. I am a big sucker for super clean drag cars but like said it's nearly impossible to keep the car as mint when you start modifying it.

Yea I have been having a hard time with tearing into the SS. I just bought a really clean Florida hard top roller that I think I may put it in.

StealthFormula = I have been wondering whether the T Top car is the best choice as far as holding up with out twisting etc. or if the hard top would be better?

VF1000R = Nice

Thanks
Brad
