What's everyone doing to upgrade, get faster this winter? I've already done one major upgrade, dumped my old injectors and went to Bosch 210s. I'm going to rip out the upper control arm mounts, and install the UPR adjustable upper mounts and a new anti roll bar that won't smash into the upper control arms on launch. Then, go to the track, get the best I can out of the current setup(thinking mid 8s), and then pull it apart next year and get the sleeved block, build my 6R80 and Circle D converter, not necessarily in that order. Of course, I have to rob a bank in there somewhere to fund all this. lol. So may be 6 to 10 years before I get it completed. lol.

I did a Chevy trans and new converter, a2w intercooler and rear suspension. Should run ok.

Going to be waiting until spring to make hits and try to dial in the rear suspension or make change ups. Can't see doing more a this point until I can at least get it to hook on idle to 2000 foot braking it. Right now I can't get it to 60 better than a 1.90. Have got some new numbers to put into the rear shocks to try but ran out of weather. Hoping to pick up Walter's stall and trans-brake box if he still has it once I get the leave ironed out.

Just go ID1300, 1050 probably won't cover it.

I dunno...maybe Summer.

Then I might have to go ahead and build a bottom end as well. :confused:

I think my round of winter upgrades is just about complete with a battery relocation, swapping the TKO600 for a 4R70W, a new fuel system, and D1X install. I was hoping to get a cage in the car but that’s probably going to have to wait.
