Well i am selling my current car to buy another one

and i want to go a different route on this car... instead of just buying mods as i go i want to have a set plan... My friend is doing somthing Very similar, STOCK longblock lx Hatch with a CAI all drive belt eliminate cept alt and crank. and some weight reduction and this sunday he went a consistant 13.8, was running ET streets. car def has a 13.6 in it. He also has a stock 3.08 rearend and a pretty damn good driver mod.

I want to Eliminate the Entire Belt Drive cept the crank, alt,p/s and the A/C if it don't work

I plan on an aluminum Radiator
Electric Fan (suggestions on Brands?)
Electric Water pump (suggestions?)
Aluminum u/d pullies
Aluminum DriveShaft
Gears, Now everyone asks about gears, and i don't kno any one running 3.55s but it seems like such a sweet gear, idk is there a big difference in pull between them and 3.73s down low and up top?
Then of course Exhaust, this time instead of shlepping the exhaust i wanna go Mac LTs with a Mac Xpipe (which i can't find any compatible with thier LT's) and a Dump system but im undecided on the dumps.

I added all this together and came up with about 1700$ with parts and install for the items i need a shop to do (gears)

I also had Subframes on the list.

If any one knows of a good sticky Street tire, i don't wanan run Mickeys or BFG or Nittos drag radials. Somthing that has good tread wear and will hook.

well any thoughts? suggesttions? constructive criticism... destructive criticism???

Im always big on suspension.. you might want to add atleast upper and lower control arms for the rear to that list, and a good set of shocks, adjustable struts, and cc plates... totally help your ride, handling, and your launches.

well at the rate im going by time im ready for my next fox ill have enough money to keep my current one and take off everything that i want and part the rest out...

im taking the BBK Equal Lengths from it, Pypes o/r X and the Flowmaster and while the flows are out im gonna cut them and make them into Dumps. Also taking my FRPP Steering Rack, the entire Gastank with my 190lph holley fuelpump and my kirban billet fpr. so exhaust i already have squared away...

depends on the location,. my friend just picked up a taurus fan for 10 bucks. is this going to be strictly a drap car? either way i would keep the alt so you dont have to keep charging the battery

nah DD but i would def be taking it to the track maybe once a month or so. but my friend has done somthing almost hte same cept all he has on the belt is hte alt and crank, no tensioner and he runs consistent 13.8s with just a fender mount CAI and full exhaust and a damn good drive mod, the car has a 13.6 in it once he works his suspension a bit bettr
