87 Gt AOD Transgo Stage 2 shift kit, 2,800 stall and 4:10 gear, 14* timing.

Aside the nitros awaiting to be installed, what else can I do? Thanks in advance,

I agree, some mods to be able to stick that to the pavement. Drag radials would be a start. I hope your car has subframes. A set of UCA and LCA's would help as well.

maybe convert it to Mass Air, and put the CAI unit on - mass air meter is like 200 (for a 76mm C&L on ebay) and the conversion wiring harness is 40 on ebay. 80 in jegs.
I hear converting to mass air is smart for futur mods, and i'm not positive on whether it is considered a performance mod, but to do performance mods like a cam heads intake, power adder, If your car is SD, you will supposedly have a problem w/ the way the car runs until its converted. '

No problem with the over heating here, but I do have a three core radiator, and electric fan. The charging is dangerously low on my car. At night with the lights and fan on at idle, the factory voltmeter is in the red. Upgrading to an MSD unit so hopefully that will cure that problem.
