Default What are you doin to your car next?

Just setting here thinking about things we all like to think about most. Modding cars. And I got to thinkin, I wonder what everybody else is currently thinking about doing to their cars? Everybody has SOMETHING they want to do I know! I mean, it's kind of hard to drive a performance car and not be thinking about things you want to do to it. So post up! Lets hear what you want to do! Or is it a secret??

Next thing I'm gonna do to my car is swap from the 78mm Fast with a ported stock TB, to a 90mm Fast and a ported LS2 TB. Also anxiously waiting for Kooks to make some 1 7/8 headers with a venturi style collector. I think that'll wake the V up. Oh, and replace the 48 lb stock flywheel with the 17 lb Lingenfelter one I ordered for it yesterday

Better add a drive shaft and a cage to that. Leaving at 6k and running high 6's will be you a broken drive shaft and booted off the track

Put the cam in. It is sitting in the garage right now but I still need an oil pump (98) and possibly a pulley.

It is a TR230.

Decide if I should sell the work car (taken out of service 10-04-05 by the city) and use the proceeds to build that crazy stroker motor for the race version police car.

I'm calling all the shops and seeing what a 408, iron block, 300-350 shot sniffer will run for a short block. I'd love you guys to get in on this if your interested. PM me if you want.

I really don't want to sell the patrol car, especially after this last weekend at the state fair...but I don't make enough money to have 2 cars at the same time

Kev
