Replace my "Rag" top. Priorty 1.
Install 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust with an X pipe and some better mufflers.
Some interior parts.
Light weight battery (if your real world tests work out).
I might get GM's ZZ4 hot cam to bump up the HP's a little.
It's a work in progress and my ideas change everyday.

For my 71 Coupe 406/375_700R4_Steeroids R&P:
1) VB&P Upper A-Arms in front to get more Caster for the Steeroid's R&P.
2) Tires for the late C3 Alloys (15 X 8).
3) Either EFI or Tremec 5 conversion from the current 700R4.
4) Either EFI or Tremec 5 conversion from the current 700R4.
For the stock 91 Z07 Coupe:
1) Fix the HVAC Temp Door (no fun).

I'm working on wiring up an all LED center brake light.
LED tail lights taken from Semi trailer units and adding stock covers will follow shortly there after.
Roller Rockers

This of course is in addition to the continual restoration/upkeep.
