Default Am I sick? Or is this normal?

I'm going to buy a 95 mustang GT within the next month and i think i have a problem.

A)I already have all the bolt on performance parts for the 5.0 picked out and saved on my Summit wishlist.

B) I have already planned out, and picked out what parts i'm for my (351w based) 408, down to what type and brand of bolt i'm using for the dizzy clamp plate. These are also saved on my wishlist,

C) Even though i don't have any of the stuff listed above, I'm already looking at nitrous and /or a Vortech to go on the 408. And transplanting a TKO 600 in place of the T5. And upgrading the axles. And changing the rear diff to a 9". and getting lowering springs. And a body kit. And maybe later on down the road , swapping in a blown 5.4....and on and on and on.

Am i sick? Is this some kind of disease? Is there a cure?

swapping in a 9" rear end is pointless with currently available 8.8 technology

wow, I can't believe you actually believe that, 8.8 ain't a pimple compared to the 9"

I'm the same way.

Just my problem is I don't have the money or time to do any of it.
