+1 on the SFC's and maybe some "Battle Boxes" (torque box re-inforcement) from Wild Rides, especially if you plan on going the drag route.


PS- What are your intentions with the car? Drag race, fun street cruiser, Auto-X, or open track?

Gears and a posi do make a world of difference though.

Gears, for sure. 1.6 rockers, subframes, pullies. Wait... 70mm TB? OK, how bout your MAF, if it's stock (55mm), that 70mm TB isn't doing much good. Probably hurting your throttle response. Upgrade the MAF, and get bigger injectors while you're at it.

3:73's will be agressive enough to make quite a difference while still maintaining most if not all of your drivability
