What are your goals with the car? Daily driver, street/strip, track only?

Can't go wrong with a better set of heads for your next mod.

I think I'm looking for a fun driver on the weekends but something I can also take to the track and not look stupid... I'm tossing around the idea of turbocharged on the carb set up so ideally Id want to set everything up in that way.

Boost.

I prefer ATI ProChargers.
