My wife just won $700,000... and she's gonna let me do whatever I want to my car. Yes, thats not a typo. $700,000! Most of that will be spent buying a house, but I plan on dumping something around $15,000 into my mach1. Some things I want to consider...

What risks will I take boring out my motor, and stroking it to 302 CID AND supercharging it? I'm allready gonna get some lower c/r pistons, Im looking between 9.1:1 and 9.5:1 to allow somewhere near 20 psi. (Procharger F1A kit with 4" race pulley... or maybe something a little bit milder)

Also, Does anyone know what saftey mods I'll need for NMRA/NHRA circuts running an ET below 11.49? Or maybe where I can get a copy of the rules/regs online?

Lastly, I was thinking of an all steeda suspension, but Im open to ideas..

Set in stone are this:
VT Engines Comp custom grind cams
VT Engines port/polish job
VT Engines Forged rotating Assy (incl a main support system)
Tremec T56 Viper spec tranny, bellhousing to rear end.
17x10.5 Black Bullitts with MT 315/40/17 D/Rs

Suggested parts are:
Steeda Gtrac suspension, stage 1-3
ATI Procharger P-D1-SC (or F1A)
Steeda power pipe, adapted to the Procharger
JBA Cat4ward headers
Eaton Posilok diff
31 spline Mosers
Some various billet interior upgrades
Possible change the front fascia, though I might stay stock to betray the sneakiness.

Oh and if you're gonna write "send me the money" dont bother posting, sorry to sound like an a**, but I know someone will say it.


(Yea, we're gonna get a 07 Shelby GT 500 as well, but Im gonna keep that thing stock and use it for car shows:P)

Some sweepstakes thing, I saw the check and I was like. WOW. I didnt believe it, but its being processed now. Oh, and I am getting a cobra. 2003 Black SVT with some mods (435 rwhp, 410 rwtq, dynojet) with 45,000 miles for $20,800. (Personal friend) That will be my DD car :P The mach is gonna be evil :P And we plan on investing 99% of it. We arent buying the house for about 5 more years (Its her grandfathers house, we're gonna buy out the mortage). So we're paying off all the debt we have now, I get some green to play around with, and the rest is going into mutual funds and CDs. We're also gonna hire a financial planner so we don't blow through all the cash in a year. As well as setting up college fund for my kid... We got it all planned :P

Oh and if you read about it, after taxes and such, we'll be investing around 450,000. Is that "go big or go home" enough :P
