Next mod, Torque Converter?
I need to get a new mod for my car, just not sure which would be best. I've got a set of 255/50 16" BFG Drag Radials on order. I was considering a Nitrous Kit...But I dunno. Would a good torque converter give me a good SOTP feel? I was looking into getting a 2400rpm stall converter. Ideas? Suggestions?

Slow down.......
You don't seem to have a "path" in which you want to follow. Every day you want to do something new. Sit down and decide what you want out of your car.
Me... I want low 12s consistent on street tires, high 11s on DRs. That is all out of the naturally aspirated 350ci. I also want a mega-flat and big torque curve for coming out of corners hard in autocross and eventually road racing. I don't want "peaky" drag racing power, I want flatness and lots of area under the curve.

Naw...no path for me. I'm going to build a 388 stroker for the 87..and I won't be completely satisfied until I'm hitting low 10's in the quarter mile. I'm just trying to get little stuff, to see if I can run some 12's for now.
