next mod?

I've had this car for 5 years now, It will be restored in about 2-3 years, so I'm just looking for a little more power until I finish the 383 and rebuild the trans.

Mods so far:

Hypertech chip, flat base K&N, 160 stat, headers, cut out, edelbrock cat back, deleted smog and cat, removed spare and winshield washer tank, timing is set to 4*, 3.42 rear

mods in the next month: ultimate tbi mods, injector pod spacer, heater vavle delete, lower fan relay. I'm also dealling on a used chip programer.

any Ideas on what should be next?

Looks like it's time for suspension mods, in my opinion. It doesn't look like there any more decent engine mods you can do without tearing into the motor (and with a 383 on the way, there's almost no point).

thats basically what I was thinking. I'm not touching the trans or engine (tearing into anyway). I might put a vette servo in, thats only 8 bucks and takes an hour. I figured suspension was next on the list. already took care shocks/struts, but time for the rest I guess.

Posi yet?

If yes, then maybe some SFC?

I too agree that some suspension is in store. As mentioned above it may be a good time to look into a posi unit. You don't want a stock suspension with a peg leg with that new 383

my only recommendation of suspension stuff is to stay away from tubular LCA's. They didn't do a damn thing for me. LCA relocation brackets are a good idea, but the LCA's themselves just seem like a waist of money to me.

thats interesting.


the 383 I'm hoping for 400 hp, and the trans will have a rebuild and trans go shift kit.
