those are just the extreme basics and still you're already at the budget. that's the minimum suspension required to make any use of the power, and you still don't have track wheels/tires, not to mention the countless little parts that will spring up.

also what compression is the 454? what kind of cam specs? is it a boost friendly motor? nitrous friendly?
Not sure about compression
Cam is BIG 550 + Hydraulic Dual Patterned High performance
Nitrous Friendly

I don't think I will be building this anymore cause now I wanna put money In the hawk. But this car is still available for 700 bucks so go and try to get it.
