Installed a Lingenfelter 2 step yesterday, still have to wire it to my t-brake.

I'm going to install a 6 point roll bar

A cutout & a decent muffler, the open down pipe started getting to me

REAL slicks, prob et drags 28 X 11.5 on an extra set of wheels, tired of f'n around with 325/50 DR's

Build another 347 shortblock I have sitting in the garage in case I need a replacement next year.

Thanks, but looks like mod $$ will be in short supply for the foreseable future.

Delete Air and possibly A/C.
Double adjustable front shocks and 300lb springs.

That should break the bank.

Que in the Tom Petty
There's been a chaaaaaanggge . There's been a change of heart. I'll get over iiiiiitttt, it wont take looooong.
I'm liking the rpms of my current combo so I'm going to pay everything off and save for my next motor... solid roller 4xx....

Bobby your right though, I'm going to drive this current combo for a while and enjoy all the blood sweat and tears I put into it. Right after I swap out the seeping FELPRO's

I plan on rebuilding the Vette motor and taking the headers off that cost me .4 and 5mph. I hope to nip 11.9 with a good Ellis tune. That's about all I can do this winter $ but I like not breaking things every weekend.
