skip the pullies, they are a waste, go for gears if you can get them + install for that

i already have that the pullies came on the car otherwise i wouldn't have them and i think i have 3.73 gears with the help from some other fellow members based on speed and RPMs we came to the conclusion of 3.73. i have the gears full exhaust pullies. i am thinking ok strange 10way rear shocks and lowering kit. and i really want a new cd player, i hate mine. and i figured i can buy the lowering kit now and have it installed later. and i am going to get my windows retinted my rear glass is hazed up and i think unsafe

oops my bad, misread what you have, hrmmm for 400??? tough, but if you can score a intake used start with that and then save for a cam and heads, but if you have a end goal a maf and inj's may be in order so decide what the end goal is so you only buy once

yea i kinda have in my head what i want to build. it would be an eagle bottom end and tfs top end but kinda want to put all that in at once. so i was thinking if i can set up the suspension now i will have it when the motor come whenever that may be. like i said i am looking at strange 10way shocks and struts the ups lowering kit and lower control arms. how much would sub frame connectors and strut tower brace help me?
