This winter I've added a few misc. parking lot dents and stratches, an exhuast leak at my pass. header flange, and a nasty vibration I can't track down.

But when spring rolls around, WCCH heads, ported TB, East Coast Customs painted airdam, GM foglight kit, 145A alternator, a LS7 rocker to test fit, and some sort of converter.

Nothing much this year.
-Edelbrock carb intake
-90mm tb
-60lb injectors
-new fuel rails and lines
-20+lbs boost????

Looking to get kicked out of NED the 1st or 2nd time up this year, due to not having a roll bar. Then we will be looking for 10's. Might spray it and might drop down to a 3:55 or 3:42 gear as well.

Should be fun

I think that with the 4:11 gears you will be all set. A taller tire at the track and you will be all set
