What are your car plans?
My goal is to make this thing open track worthy by next summer. That means LS1 or C5 brakes, maybe Konis and springs, and I'll possibly sell my wheel/tire setup for some 11" wide ZR1s and sticky rubber. Plus 3.73 Gears.
megasquirt(picking up Saturday)
96lb injectors
Seperate fuel system for race gas
anti roll bar
tubular k member
3 1/2" downpipe
built th400 with a better suited stall
Hyrbird 8.8 with 3.27's
295/50/16 mt dr
slam the car to the ground
Shooting for deep deep 10's on stock heads/cam, on the stock chrome wheels, and with the car still being quiet...ok I lied..I'd really like a 9, but I think it will take more tire to do so.

I'm gathering the parts as we speak, but here is what I have planned for it in the spring:
Worked over heads
CC306
1.6 RR along w/ lifters, pushrods, etc
SVO 30lb injectors, racetronix fuelsystem
MSD cap/rotor, Taylor wires, MSD coil, 6AL MSD box
3200-3400 RPM stall from Fuddle
3.73 gears
Eibach pro-kit,
UMI suspension components
New rotors w/ Baer pads up front Hawks out back
Pacesetter coated headers and Y-pipe, TSP Rumbler catback
Trans cooler
ZR1's black in the center w/ a polished lip
6-point cage possibly
There has got to be some parts I am missing but thats the general plan. I plan on racing on a road course more than drag racing.

Over winter ...
slicks and skinnies
Wideband o2 sensor
4" glasstek cowl hood
LS1 lid setup
bullet mufflers just for the track
A built transmission (even though mine is good but have heard its better to have a working trans rebuild then a blown one)
And paint my calipers
Then get back to the track and see what happens

LE2 and a 58mm TB. those were my plans for this year...but **** happens. my shocks are tired so I'l prolly end up getting some strano springs & bilsteins first tho... and some bars 
after that, sunnoco hood & new paint..
new rear whenever it decides to take a dump on me.
and a nitrous kit if I can swing it before 100k miles, if not rebuild the bottom end first.

After april...
Sell the TA, and build a stock suspension drag radial car.
25.5, 30" tall radials, Fulton big block, gigantic Pro-Charger, etc.
Probably stick with a 4th gen platform, just gonna start with a much cheaper car (think blown up ugly 6 banger 'bird or camaro)
