anyway just do ur simple bolt ons for now...TB, Underdrive, CAI, Headers, Exhaust, I'd stick a decent cam in it maybe like a 222/230 on a 112 job or somthing like that should run well with stock heads and still give you plenty under the curve to get these boats moving. Also attack the suspension hard...ditch that rear cause thats breaking the first time out....I'd run either a 12 bolt or an S60 with a locker with some steep gear. Also put the good ole drag pack on it the weld draglites are a light and affordable wheel, put a nice slick out back and a skinny up front and theres alot of time and mph right there. Do the LCA relocation and that will give you the correct geometry to achieve a proper launch as well. I'd throw a set of DB's in it just to give yourself some adjustability in the spring rates too. From there I cant remember if you said it was an Auto or a stick but if its an auto definatly put a nice converter in it I'd reccomend a 3600 vigilante or similar.
Finally free mod the car to death.....pull the weight out and ditch the EGR and the AIR systems they're completely useless. And get a good tune in the car you'd be supprised what a perfect tune will do!!!
Hope this helps.
