body kit, new high spoiler, sweet system that bumps, dubb deuces and tinted windows.
J/k. with 10k you could hit tens and possibly nines if you buy good used stuff. Besides going with a new motor like a 402+ , you could get some nice afr heads and good cam. next you'll need full boltons and full exhaust, with headers i like 17/8 on stock cubes. GO with a fast intake or similar 90mm+ intake and tb. get the runners ported. You'lll ethier need a clutch or trans depending on what you got. Don't forget about the rear end too cause you'll greanade that after some hard launches. Add nitrous to the mix and you'll hit tens for sure maybe even nines. the car will still be very streetable with good manners and make great power just don't skimp on the cam.

Heads, cam, intake, full exhaust, 100 shot, tune, Sub frames, LCA's, Pan hard rod, Torque arm, 12 bolt rear, new clutch. That will just about take care your 10K and your 10 second goal.

LS7..........this will be a tad bit more than 10g's but hell, I think at that point of spending it's definately worth looking into.

now i just gotta put my IROC up for sale...or maybe part it out
I should be able to get about 8 grand for my car.

The TA just drives so much better than the 87....so i want out of the 3rd gen world.

Im thinkin with the money i could have a car just as fast if not faster than my IROC and drive and handle tons better!

I gotta start putting together a list of what i want to do with the TA


suspension, tires and rims are my first and that should run me about 2gs or so.

I would do a H/C/I and suspension work before anything else. Looks mean nothing when running on the street. You wouldn't want to get pushed around by some import would you?
