Right now if you read the signature thats what I have for performance. The question is should I go a little more bolt on or NOVI 2000? Bolt on would require Bassani mid length and catted x, sub frame connectors, Upr/lower Arms.

i dont' know what a novi2000 is, but from what you have, i'd invest in some good U/L control arms and a nice set of rubbers

I would go with the headers, sub-frame connectors and control arms first and then get the S/C!!

the hell is he gonna do when he has all that power and no suspension to put it to the ground?....i'll tell ya....he's gonna spin and spin and spin.

I'd say if you do get the Novi2000, ATLEAST get U/L control arms and some good sticky tires....cuz i see you have 4.10's....you're gonna need all the help with traction you can get

If I could do it all over again I would have gotten the LTs, x, and catback, and then went straight for the blower. Nothing I had done compared to the difference the blower made.

s/c will give you a bigger grin than the other stuff.
why are you wanting the novi, I hardly see anyone bringing those up as their first choice for a s/c?

If you remember, in the 'old days' american muscle came with posi traction and detroit lockers to keep traction.

IMO, make sure you can handle/grip AND brake well, then add power.

A totally stock GT with a 8PSI blower and some nitto drag raidals will not be a car that is overpowered for its suspension.

I have upper and lower c/a's and some subframes waiting for me in the garage, and I want to do suspension work, but I am doing fine on a totally stock suspesion and brake setup with well over 400 rwhp.
