I second the full suspension if you dont already have it, what good is power when you can't put it down to the ground.

Stick to cars

It looks like you have a nice setup.
Where do you want to go next? more power? better ETs at the track? bling?

I mean with a 396 and blower, you may want to consider a different
heads/cam setup. The LE2 is an awesome 350 setup, but with those cubes
and the blower, you are going to want some ported aftermarket castings and
a cam with more lobe seperation.

Well with a blown 396 on the spray I would think you would want to drag race it. Therefor to get any good timeslips at all I would take off the lowering springs, do a full adjustable suspension setup (not just springs and shocks), and some slicks and skinnys for the track
