What Bolt-ons am I missing?
You can see my current mods in my signature! I was wondering if I have missed any 'easy' bolt-ons or other mods that should be done? Either engine, clutch, tranny, rear-end, suspension, etc. If you could list the mod and why it would benefit me (+hp or <et), that would be great!!!!
Thanks for you help!!!

Switching to longtube headers would give you some HP especially b/c of your head work and cam.
SUspension wise I think it would be wise to invest in some LCAs, SFCs, and relocation backets. Then also some slicks.
Next would be some weight reduction

SFC's - no hp but will really stiffen the car up, bolt on or weld
UD pulley - shown to gain 5rwtq & 1rwhp
TB bypass - free, and around 5rwhp
LS1 Driveshaft - reduce vibration if you still have stock steel, possible hp gain
Just a few ideas

since you have a cam/heads you could probably gain 5-10 hp from getting 52mm throttle body, either have your stocker bored by someone like NOMAD or buy an aftermarket unit.
how bout upgrading to 1.6 rockers?
bigger injectors?

I would go for one of these: http://www.wolferacecraft.com/pages/...rt/weld-in.htm
Because it will stiffen the car up and make it safer at the same time without having to add suspension components. If you race frequently I can see a 12 bolt in your future too.

What kinda gear ratio you got in there??? You can easily find a whole rearaxel on the board for about 250-300. A lot easier and cheaper to do than a gear install. Might wanna think about that. Definitely go with some LCA's too. They help out a lot.

I've currently got 3:42 gears. I have been thinking about getting some 3:73. I really have to slip the clutch with 3:42 to get a decent launch.
I think I'll also go with the LCA and Relocation Brackets as well!!
