First and foremost, get all the bugs in my 383 worked out and get a real tune on it.

Then some little stuff, new SFC's, Wire mod, Fuel line mod, painting the underside of the body, fixing a tiny leak on the rear, painting brake calipers, basically just appearance stuff. Then I need to wire up my two step, line lock, and install my cutout and wire that.

I'm going to start on the nitrous kit, get the plate mounted and the bottle mount put in the car. But I'm probably not going to finish it for awhile. The money I was going to use on the nitrous kit is going towards some Race Star's, McLeod Bellhousing and possibly a Street Twin. And then after some testing hopefully a 6 pt. Depends on how big my tax return is since I just got married.

The car, N/A will be ready for the shootout, I just don't know if the nitrous kit will be done by then.

-ATI alum dampner ( 4#'s lighter then ASP )

-Yank SS3600 non lockup( SS4000 was too loose and no lockup saves about 4#'s)

-FLT Level 7 ( Level 4 was taking a beating at my level )

-Hoosier Drags radials ( 10#'s lighter each and seem to work as well or better then M/T )

-changing up the rims ( not sure what yet )

-some other weight reduction stuff

-VFN bolt-on Sunoco hood

think that's it
CRAP I wish you were doing the converter swap, I woulda bought that 4000 in a second.

I know, springs should take no time at all. Its just so cold and Im lazy. I already did the fronts with Strange DAs and 300# springs, and put in some comp 3way drag shocks out back.

Rims should be here tomorrow and I already have the drag bar so Ill do it all at the same time.

So I have a lot of goals but some realistic ones include:

LE2 heads and ported intake, installing new wheel studs, deleting oil cooler, getting a dynotune, mike is currently working on getting all the garbage out of my engine bay and the LS1 lid conversion, and I would like to relocate fuel lines and replace all my brake lines with stainless braided lines, get all the scratches out of the car and make it look purty!

I would also like to get a light weight racing seat, torque arm and an affordable shock/spring setup
