i'm setting mine up for a nice strip/street car, so it's not going to get crazy in the power dept. i'll stop with about 550 - 600 to the tires. at least i think i'll stop there

Just a daily driver. I am done modding.

I have leftover parts from when i did my Cobra disk conversion on my LX...so i am debating adding Cobra brakes front and rear to my GT. All i need are front calipers as i will have a set of rotors and i have an extra set of CObra rear brackets and anti-moans.

But that would be my last mod...and it's mostly for appearance/safety.

For some people it would seem to be a showable car/corner carver, but to me it's just custom transportation.

I'm not looking to have a dedicated drag or corner carver. I'm trying to make a really fun all around good time car. And occasionaly do a show. I'm about to be 300rwhp with the P&P heads/cams and boltons. Next i'm adding an FRPP supercharger to take me too the 400rwhp mark. If that doesn't do it then the 5.0 stroker should. Then i'm done with the power and will focus more on suspension.

my mods in sig, what i want to add are gears (4.10), x pipe, cat back, and a new plenum, chin spoiler, grill delete, and maybe some side skirts and lowering springs.

MAYBE, big MAYBE a SC'er

i just want a nice clean looking street car with some go if someone at a light wants to tempt me.
