"Friends" in quotes because some of you may just tolerate me Regardless, I really appreciate it, and if you would please take a quick look, I want to see if I'm missing anything that I should do now that would be a LOT harder or impossible or a LOT more expensive to do later.
The things I'm doing and buying I'm doing in preparation for the appx 700HP/TQ stroker I have planned, and because I'm upgrading my traction capabilities.
USCT torque boxes, front and rear, and subframe connectors.
AR inner (front) spring hanger plates, and factory outer (rear) plates.
Calvert split mono leaf springs and sliders.
Assassin traction bars.
Viking Warrior rear shocks, double or triple adjustable.
Strange chromoly steel pinion yoke and caps, and their chromoly driveshaft with chromoly slip yoke and solid 1350 U-joints.
Hydramax hydraulic throwout bearing conversion kit and HitMaster launch control system.
I already have the Mancini Racing driveshaft safety loop.
Wilwood 6 piston 4 wheel manual disc brakes
Line Lock
Cold Case radiator w/Stant SuperStat 180° thermostat and a billet aluminum water neck/thermostat housing w/rubber O ring seal.
Complete QA1 front suspension and K-member w/SPC UCAs
Mity Mount motor mounts
I'm leaving a lot off that's being done because it doesn't have anything to do with:
Going straight
Launching hard
Stopping fast and safely
Bracing up the parts of the car that are going to be subjected to forces at a new, higher level than I've ever done before.
Things like a "blowproof" bellhousing can be done with the engine installation. Same thing for a roll cage, has nothing to do with what's going on right now vs doing it later, as far as I know.
Anyway, that's it.
If you think there's anything else I should do right now because I should, because later it's going to be a lot harder or more expensive, please let me know.
Thanks
