Sure, get a 3" THDP, some 50# MSD injectors, a Maxeffort, 2800 stall and a TA60. You'll be flying then!

If the list is right, I'd say a scanmaster is first on the list. Direct Scan is awsum if you got a laptop, or both is ultimate. Its not a list of parts that make em quick, they gotta be tuned/tweaked just right, then look out !!

Get yourself a good Downpipe, get rid of that FlowCrapster too. Get a nice ATR 3" Xflow system...very nice system. I've had it on 2 of my cars and love it.

What' the deal w/your TC? Is it Lockup or non-lock? Stall?

Figure you're looking at about 800 w/exhaust and DP. Get yourself a scan tool... #1. You need it. All the go fast parts are no good w/a blown motor.

That will leave you about a grand left. If you wanted to do inj/turbo you could...or you could just tune what you have and go from there.

I didnt' see airbags in your list..and I assume you already have a Posi?

Go with some 57# injectors, a 3" THDP, and a TE-45.

You'll shit your pants.

P.S. - Do you have any suspension upgrades? You might want to think about some airbags in the rear springs, as well as some boxed or tubular lower control arms.

What does the car run now? ET, mph, etc... What are your goals for the car / combo? What's the stall on your car's converter? Any suspension upgrades done?
