(B) should be deleted. SFC and STB would be a waste of money that couldve went somewhere usefull and we dont have struts.
(C) I would get something used
(A) Looks like a good choice but not what I'd want to do until Ive gotten the most out of the car N/A

1. get me my speakers.
2. nitrous, whats better than not having less mpg and being able to turn it off and on when ever you want. 125 shot of nitrous and 11's here you come, thing about it. It didnt take me long to decide, although i have everything u listed, minus the charger, so i can tell you without question. Subframes are a scam, lca are NEEDED, struts are a waste of money, and your not fast enough to need shocks and springs yet. I mean sure, chrome rims are cool and look good, but would you rather look good and get smoked or look like you do and let people have a taillight show?
Ultimately, a supercharger is worth it, but so is nitrous, and its cheaper and you can hide it, not to mention if you get beat once , you can pill it larger in 3 minutes and kick there ***.
Any questions?

Well, i dont disagree with you, but i was told my stock suspension would only carry me so far, this was true. I maxed out at about 11.7 which with traction permitting is what urbanhunter is to expect. For the money, and performance gain, nitrous is the best choice. He wont see much of a gain with shocks/spring. I admit, it is a wise choice for the future, but unless hes shooting for the 10s. Its almost overkill, would u agree?
Edit- he needs the LCA's so he doesnt break his 10bolt,wheel hop is the major killer of all 7.5' rear ends, and lca elminate it, or most of it. I should know, i went through 2 rearends before i got my lca

Verdad Gallardo I failed to see he has an lt1, i think it would be fair to say he could still reach the 11's. I dont know a lot, but i have seen some fast lt1s. I would expect a low 12 though.

I come from the school of thought that says it's wiser to build a car from the back to the front. If it were me, I'd keep saving for a 12-bolt or a 9inch. NOS is hard on a drivetrain. Superchargers are a little easier, (depending on how much boost), because they deal out the stress gradually over the RPM range, but even still it's only a matter of time. If you get the rearend taken care of first then you can sleep better at night not worrying what's gonna happen the next time you hit the "Go" button, and you'll have plenty of room to grow in the future.

I already have LCAs and reloc brackets, just aren't on the car yet.
SFCs are an excellent mod on these (and any 82-02 fbody). I did them on my old '94 and WOW I could tell a difference as soon as I pulled out of the parking lot. The STB helped a little as well. The shocks/springs would be for handling/appearance. I'm not planning on doing a drag suspension setup as it isn't just a strip only ride.
I'm leaning towards the nitrous. I'm going to need some better tires with it though
Or I might just get a set of tires and hit some 12s.... dunno yet.

hey bud, if your car is a t-top car then i would do the sfc's. dependin on how much power you are intending on makin one day, sfc's are not a "waste of money" my buddt picked up a .015 in the 1/8th with that mod only. now if he were to have sticky tires aswell then who knows. but yea if you have a t-top car there should be no discussion about whether to get'em or not
