what are your goals besides eating rice? budget and goals really help us suggest good ideas. weekend warrior or daily driver? plan on doing this all yourself or taking it to a shop for your mods?
First off welcome to the addiction! lol, like stated above bump the timing, change out the exhaust throw a gear in it and a sticky tire, you'll be surprised what these cars do with little mods
My sig is a good place to start with a stocker, and from what I've heard ( and mine has been left alone) if you're planning to bump timing high octane fuel is a must. Good Luck and welcome to MF's!
If you have that kind of money... From my experience I wish I would have done the serious work first... such as the rearend, exhaust and I'm currently building a 331 stroker.... wish I would have just done that first! it's much easier, in my opinion, to pay for a lot of little things over time than it is to save up for some big purchases. Rear end gears really wakes up the beast!
That was funny and congratz my friend on your 302 get gears in the thing gears are probably one of the best upgrades you can do and you will be completely satisfied
