[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 16170005, member: 7795"] Good to have you here Andrew. Actually watched that vid earlier. Great list and order, starting with suspension. There’s a few of us here that have already done all of that and more, so we’re trying to offer advice. I’m just trying to remind you these aren’t Terminators. The stock shortblock, specifically the rods and oil pump gears, are on borrowed time at over 750rwhp. Couple quick thoughts. First, you like drag racing. If you’re going to drag race this car recognize you’ll need gears and a built rear. I had FOUR sets of gears in my built 8.8s before I put a 9” in it. Run bias ply only at strip. Get a rear brace. You’ll absolutely love 4.10s on the street with DRs. Still a rocket on the highway. 80mph at 2000rpm with 4.10s. Cams—well they sound good and do make the motor more efficient, but you’ll extend the RPM range, the hardest on the two weak links, rods and OPGs. I’d save cams for when you want to do the shortblock. Until then, you can have a LOT of fun at 800rwhp. Good luck. -J [/QUOTE]
