Unhappy What Next!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!?



1 7/8 kooks headers with full kooks exhaust
jre 470 cam
tvs2300 3.4" (boost gauge, afr kit, spark plugs, fuel pump, map sensor, pretty much all essential things for a reliable s/c build)
water meth
jre tuned
jre differential with 3.45 gear

Hoping to make around 6xx rwhp/rwtq.


What next...? For now don't really need more hp... Been thinking of cosmetics? Maybe a bigger spoiler? Maybe some bigger rotors and brakes?

Reinforce transmission?
Reinforce the suspension? (on all stock except differential)

Already have a custom plate and license frame on the way...Plate reads STOCK, and frame says SLOW on top and V6 on bottom

SLOW
STOCK
V6



Input please...

For someone who complains about not having good shops in Panama, you sure are getting a lot of work done in a short amount of time ...

I would definately go the suspension route next. You have all that power, now you need to make the car be able to handle it all

Yeah... I dropped $10k into the car just this week. There are no shops. Just a very very good and reputable mechanic who is the v8 guru in these parts. He's got a monster street car and he has a 9second drag foxbody... he built them both himself. He is teaching me how to work on my car.

I have the car lowered with lowering springs. That's about it.

I saw the pic you posted of where you park at work. Maybe put some armor plate on the outside and M18 Clamore Mines on each side=no more door dings!
