Most people won't listen but hopefully you will. Get subframe connectors. I heard an aluminum driveshaft is also one of the mods that make a a bigger difference so you could look into that also...

It seems like you pretty much have almost full bolt on's. Do you go to the track often? If so, do some suspension.

Oh I forgot, a short shifter will be really nice and also cobra front brakes.

Yeah I ordered a shorty antenna and GT floormats from americanmuscle before I even bought the car lol. The antenna had to go as soon as I bought the car.

+1 on subframe connectors. You'll feel difference in handling and rigidity. Rear control arms are also a good mod .Aluminun driveshaft is another mod that won't hurt reliability,and will save weight.

control arms, subframe connectors, shocks and springs would be a nice start.

check out mgw for the short throw

+1 on the short shifter. How are you still dealing with the stock one....That was the first thing to go on mine.

Well I have an auto so no short throw. Subframe connectors sound good, do they actually help in taking off? No I haven't been to the track yet. Are 373s to weak for an auto? Happy with looks right now

Generally they say for an Auto you shold go with 4.10's but if you don't plan on going to the track than it really doesn't matter much. Subframe conectors are important.....they will help in the take off in terms of keeping the frame more rigid and straight.

I would just do suspension now with subframe connectors being first.
