i am gonna post picks!!!!!car gettin totally redone

tell me what you think i own a 1988 iroc z 350 tpi, t-bar, 700r4 tranny, stage 2 shift kit , 2.77 9 bolt , comp chip , 8.8 race wire with super coil , 4 wheel disk brakes .My mods gettin done at this moment are as follows:new carpet through out car ,seats are gettin redone in light gray leather , suspension is getting totally redone all new shocks struts , strut mounts etc.new front end kit , new directional tires already on it 245 55r16 beefy!!!!rims are at the shop getting refinsihed too look like chrome , speaker covers and t-bar getting recovered , and in may the car is gettin sanded down to the metal and ever corner and crevass will be painted back to the original gun metal color again.It took me a while to save the money to make this possible but i am really a hardcore iroc fan.And i love to beat Rustangs.Anyways tell me what you guys think and any other mods i should do especially with my exhaust right now its not that good i want a deep rumble at low rpms kinda like a mustang sounds with dynomax turbo mufflers but i don't know if they would sound the same on a chev 350?

Sounds like it's going to be a damm nice ride. Are you going to post some progress pics or, just the finished product?
Don't know if you realize this though, those tires are taller than the factory size (OEM 245/50-16, which, is going to make your speedo read slower than you're actually going. I've been busted more times than I care to say over a slow speedo. Just a word of caution while speeding around

That car sounds sweet, who cares if it sounds like a buttstang, a 350 with nice exhuast sounds tough enough, I recomend changing gears in your rearend.

I would love to change the gears in the rear end i was told it would give me alot of bottom end but i am scared of loosin my top end speed.i don't wanna post anypics until my car is done but i really wanna show it off when its done its hard to find gears because my clutches are gone in the rear and my car has disk brakes so its really exensive.
