Get the tranny valve body. Stock AOD's are very un-cool. If you DO get a cam, please, dont get an alphabet cam. I already made that mistake and my 331 is going to be a custom one from comp

Well it's a budget build up and I'd like to get a manual valve body but I can't afford one with the electronic O/D delete so that will have to wait until next summer or sometime this school year. But I'd like to get a few more smaller modifications done before summer leaves and school starts. During the school year I'll be saving my money for the more expensive goodies.

DO a 3G alternator. It cost me about $50 for everything including the 4 guage wire and eyelets that I ran to the starter sole. I got mine at a boneyard. No charging probs at all with EVERYTHING on, including my E-fan.

Well I'm not having any charging problems as of right now but I will definentally look into the upgraded alternator. This might be more suitable after I get an electric fan in the future.

I think that It'd be a good idea, but for now I think that it can wait, I think that the cat-back is going to be the way to go. I can get two 245-50(?)-16 BFG DOT approved drag slicks for 120 a peice.

There is no DOT approved drag slick. Are you talking about the drag radials?

I voted for the slicks because it will help your ET the most.

Whatever the hell you wanna call it, I couldn't remember the exact name for BFG's sticky street tire. All of those things on the list are going to happen soon, and I think that I've figured out the order that they are going to go.
