Just looking around. I really dont have any suspension mods at all, so keep that in mind.
Im not looking to spend alot either.

My mods are:
Comp Cams roller rockers
Performance 28oz. Flywheel
69 fairlane heads W/ port and polish job and oversize valves.
351 windsor W/ speedpro pistons, stock forged rods
3:55 gears
Airpump removed
Alluminum Driveshaft
Centerforce Clutch
Chromolly Pushrods
Denso Wires
Electric Fan
F303 FRPP Camshaft
Felpro rings/seals/gaskets
FRPP motor mounts
FRPP 351w Swap Oilpan
Hurst Shifter
Mallory Distributor
Mellings Hi-Volume Oilpump
Metal Clutch quadrant
MSD Ignition Coil
NGK Plugs
Race Pro Aluminum Radiator
remote hood release (-20 lbs)
Removed Foglight Bar (-50lbs)
SunPro Tach
Cats removed
Edelbrock torker II intake
Edelbrock Triangle looking Filter
FlowMasters
Holley 750 Double Pumper Carb W/ mechanical secondaries
Offroad H-Pipe
Stock Shotry Headers

So yeah, what should my next mods be?
Id really like to break into the 11's or 12's But havent even driven the thing yet, Its just been being assembled forever.
Havent even driven the new combo yet.
What HP should I be pushing / 1/4 times???

suspension...set of drag radials/slicks. subframe connectors, upper/lower rear control arms, lowering springs, adjustable shocks. suspension and traction is a HUGE piece in the 1/4 puzzle.

well you've already gotten your engine setup, and exhaust. Now you have to properly plant that power to the ground. What transmission do you have? 5speed or auto? but ya, a good suspension setup, drag radials, and take any unneeded wieght off the car and you'll hit your 12's

nevermind the tranny thing, I see you have a centerforce clutch. I also noticed you have stock headers...get new headers!

well you could box in your stock rear control arms and put some aftermarket bushings in them or just get aftermarket control arms. also get a set of subframe connectors, remove the front antiroll bar and stock quadshocks if you have aftermarket control arms. get some good shocks like monroe sensitracs or something.

i also see that you have the triangle edelbrock air filter. is that the one that is nothing but filter and the filter is foam. if so get rid of it fast. i had one and my motor sucked a big hole through it and it burns easily when the engine backfires. it's not pretty. all that foam getting into the carb and engine.
