Need Mod Advice

[1985 5.0]

So after two years, I finally talked my friend (04 GT, 5spd) into going to the dragstrip. He's got 3k hes wanting to spend on it, and I didn't really know what to tell him spend it on. Soooo I figured why not ask the ppl who have been there done that

Wow, that's a tough one...

One of the first things I would recommend is a Maximum Motorsports grip box. Also good drag radials for strip use only.

Also an SCT Livewire with a custom tune would of course be good.

Various bolt on mods...

Depending on how serious he is he might consider some weight reduction as well.

4.10 gears. They are perfect for these cars.

I try to tell everyone to get their 2v's into the 12's NA before getting blown. I should be there this weekend with just exhaust, gears, and DR's on 15" welds. I also have terrible sportline springs. I want to go with a fox setup

Having a blower would be great, but if you got stock suspension, your gonna waste a bunch of power because you wont be able to get it to the ground properly. +1 for the MM grip box.

Beleive me, I want a blower bad, but im beefing up everything else 1st so I can utilize all the blowers power once I get it. Im leaning towards either KB or Procharger.
