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)
