17" Crome IROC rims
boom system
crap load of suspension mods and driveline mods to handle the EXTREME power and to provide GREAT traction!
maybe a little 50 shot
...to many other little mods to list, but those would be the major ones!

What year was your "Mom's Turbo TA"? And did your Mom get the car painted black with the ghost flames?
Just curious.

PAT Musi Built 707 Cubic Inch Chevy Rat(roughly 1200hp)
Nitrous Express Fogger 600-1200HP adjustability
Nitrous bells and whistles(progressive, purge, etc..hehe)
Turbo 400 trans
Fab9 rearend
tubbed with 33" meats out back, skinnies up front
Laundry on the rear bumper
-Basically Pat Musi's NMCA car minus a few hundred pounds. It would run 6.40's in the 1/4 mile at 230+mph...
Road Race Car:
1989 IROC-Z Convertible(my car actually)
8 point rollbar
Harnesses
17X10" ROH Rims W/ Hoosiers all around
Lowered 2"
Sam Strano built and tuned chassis setup
427 cubic inch SBC "Motown Block" based engine
WeldTech CNC'd Brodix 18 degree heads+intake
-Comp Cams solid roller well over .700" lift
lets shoot for 700hp all motor around 7500rpm, ok?
D&D Built T56 trans
Star Stage 3 clutch
14" Baer brake setup all around
2500lb weight<---whatever it takes carbon fiber, etc...
Cruiser/Weekend car:
1992 Z28 Convertible

Subframes for sure
custom Amp/Sub setup where the rear seats used to be
Amazing DVD and audio setup
Recarro Seats Heated/Air Cooled options

200R4 Trans nicely built!
3.42 gears 3000 stall lockup converter
Ford 9" rear axle
-Stage 2 aluminum Block and headed 231 or 272 cobic inch Turbo Buick setup. Something simple but effective. Pump gas friendly around 700-800 hp if possible, 1000+hp tunability for a track outing with race gas. 25+ MPG fuel consumption at highway speeds
17" Rims, not sure what kind
Tires for every occasion
And a top that does not friggin leak..

wanted to come and visit with everyone when eric was in town but i just couldn't get it to start. denny, you wouldn't believe it....finally got the thing to run decent and it's a world of difference from what i had told you before. still need a rear and to find someone to help me dyno tune the old OBDI now that the engine is broken in. as soon as i find a good supplier of coilover springs to lower the car back down i think i'll quit.
for awhile!
