If I have any money next year, I will hopefully get some 3.73 or 3.90 gears and a stall. And maybe drag radials.

John,
Don't forget the prices for head gaskets(Cometic or factory), valve cover gaskets, and a couple other gaskets and tuning.
I've been a big fan of AFR heads, but I think Patriot heads are pretty good nowadays. Patriot heads do produce decent numbers.
Not a big fan of NO2. Does your car have a plastic intake?

I am truly hoping to have a TS Blower by mid 2010, or late 2010. I would probably go with a Whipple, as they make more TQ and a bit more HP than KB's, with the right supporting mods.

My goal is to run 9's on street trim, full weight, and running 20 PSI or less.

Also, I want to get a different Shifter, maybe different springs for better weight transfer, new fuel pump, 60lb+ injectors, etc.

Who knows though :shrug:

My list

I will get 4" PowerHouse Driveshaft for $550, CHE Driveshaft Loop for $73.99, and a MGW short throw shifter.

And depending how much money I have next year I want to get a kennebell 2.6L for $4700 or BBR 3V STAGE 1 Camshafts $650

the only other thing i'm considering experimenting with is methanol injection to max out what i have.
other than that, all i can really do is add the head and cams at which point i'd have to look at modifying everything else which would lead to me just getting a built crate engine since by then i would be changing everything out anyways.
my intake manifold really needs the fox lake heads that are built for it but once i get the fox lake heads+cams+intake manifold is a 150hp+ mod which would definitely put me over the hp rating of my block and who knows what else with stock rods and pall.

I may look at the AFR also when the time comes. Yup Plastic intake right now. Might get a fast if I need it.

I might go back and see if there's some way possible to fit the flow master american thunder series mufflers into my Borla side exhaust. that's the number one regret of going to side exhaust was having the sacrifice those mufflers. flowmaster american thunder series mufflers are my most favorite 94-04 2v mufflers hands down.
as the car sits, it has a decent sound which coincidentally is somewhat similar in character to my old flowmaster mufflers but they just dont have the same bobble that the flow masters had. my favorite sound was the flowmaster american thunder series with my stock h pipe. i know now that i have an x pipe it will never be the same but it would be nice to get back to something closer to what it used to sound like.

Lets see....headers, xpipe w/cats, do something with the rear end suspension-lower,and something. Rotors for the back, additional engine dress up - powdercoating and custom paint.....those are all possible.

been looking all over flowmaster's site for a "same end exit" style muffler like my side exit exhaust uses. the closest thing i can find is an 80 series muffler which i can find clips of on a mustang. i want a flowmaster muffler that has the entrance and exit pipe on the same side of the muffler.

oh yeah i technically need a roll bar in my vert now. i dont want to though. i have the driveline safety loop, helmet and single layer fire jacket. now i need to buy a roll bar. i'd like to find a company that makes them just for the new edge/sn95 cars and integrates somewhat decently with the interior. thats more weight in the car too..

Not to take away business from CRE but if you're looking for bolt in, you can look at at Autopower cages as well. I've used many of their with success.
