Exclamation So what new mods should I go for?

I have everything BBK long tubes, o/r bassani xpipe, bassani catback, new camber plates, h&r springs (I wanna go lower it sits WAYYY to high in the front, ANY TIPS?). Vortech supercharger v2-sc. methanol injection, rear seat delete. Things insane. But what else could I even do to it besides build the motor. I do NOT wanna go there. I am pushing 450 rwhp, kinda max for my mach 1. I love it.

I do not have my car atm, I am in the military and can not have it at my current duty station for the next few months. I want to do something else but have no idea what I CAN do???

Any ideas? Thanks just beating a dead horse here....

I don't see gears listed. That would definitely be my first suggestion.

I also don't see FLSFC. They are a must if you have spent funds on suspension upgrades.

A STS would be a nice mod.

All the above mods would make driving the car better, and none of them would increase your power and stress your motor.

i agree with the gears, but his sig does say he has subframes, just doesn't mention whether or not they're full length. doing more suspension mods would make your car faster in 1/4 and a lot more fun to drive in general. depending on what your goals are, you can do a PHB or watts link, a torque arm (which would mean you ditch the UCA's in the back and have a 3-link setup rather than the crappy 4-link), tubular LCA's in the rear, a lighter k-member up front with tubular a-arms, etc. look up member Jazzer the Cat and check his suspension guide for other ideas. although he would probably tell you to upgrade the brakes first, which isn't a bad idea either, starting with stainless steel brake lines.

EDIT: also a +1 on the STS idea, if you've got a manual. i and many others will STRONGLY recommend the MGW. oh and maybe change out the stock clutch quadrant and add on a quick-click firewall adjuster (once again, if a manual). really improves daily driveability and doesn't cause the same wear concerns as the stock plastic POS.

Op, what are you goals for the car? Drag? AutoX? Fun weekend car? DD?

Can't go wrong with tires, brakes, and suspension. Sounds like you have plenty of power. All the power in the world means nothing if you can't control it.

If you want to have the car really low, you should look into coil-overs or bags.
