430 gears, 28" tall drag radial, the rest spent on suspension. you'll thank me later when you hit a high 12 without touching your motor.

If I had $2k it would be subframe connectors, gear, h/c/i..


Or save another $1K and get a sv650.

Skip the cam and H/C/I. Go BOOST!!! You can find some good used superchargers for cheap over on the Corral, especially for the Fox Mustang.

Rear Gears- 3.73 if you drive on the highway

Clutch or Torque Converter- if you planning on racing it, TC helps for drag racing launches

Cam and Valvesprings- E303

OR

Save up a little more and buy a centrifugal supercharger.
