Depends on if you plan on staying N/A or going the aspirated route.

Just ask yourself if you want the power there all the time or when you flip a switch. Up too you. You could buy a forged shortblock and have a sick nitrous setup for 4K or find a nice used blower.

gears, short throw shifter, subframe connectors, suspension, wider rear tires/rims for better traction, and a dyno tune.

In addition to that, I'd say throw in a granatelli or Maximum Motorsports K-member, tubular a-arms, and a torque arm. and forged internals all that should total up near $4k

suspension suspension suspension. power is only good if it is usable and can be transmitted to the ground correctly.

Correct, but who wants a 60' car?

Make the car have some ***... i.e. blower...then build the suspension around it.. Suspension is cheap, FI isnt...
