Post Post next year mods here!!!!!!!

Well, my car offically went away today, and I've already begun to dream about next season. I've been thinking alot about what I'm gonna do to my heap next year. I've decided that I'm gonna get the motor done. Maybe a stock bottom end, with steel caps, and that 210/214 cam that Tim's been raving about. Also I'd like a set of Champion irons. and already have plans for a Boost command and a scan master 2. some new wheels plus sticky tires are on the list as well.
I'd like to hear your plans for next year guys! Maybe to see what I'm up against

Jonathan

1) Install the parts I bought this year and never got around to using. GNX fender flares
2) Wider rear wheels for the car 16x8s minimum. Likely some DOT road race tires too.
3) Ported heads and the same cam you mentioned Nasty'.
4) Dump weight off the nose and rear:
a) !power steering
b) !a/c compressor
c) 'glass hood and trunk lid
d) cut down the rear AL bumper support into two tiny brackets
e) hollow swabybar up front
and possibly:
f) gut the interior & add racing seats only.
g) cut out the floor pans and trunk pan, replacing them with aluminum panels.
if money allows:
5) a bigger turbo with a .63 housing.
6) two 5-point harnesses for the interior.
7) updated chips.

Why a turbo Buick? Because I couldn't afford a turbo Porsche...

HAaa Haaaaaa

You are going to blow the welds on the manifold... NAAWWWZzzzzz isn't for rookies.

As an aside: my brother might be getting a job with NOS... if that happens everything around here will have spray on it. The lawn mower, fridge, the cats...
