I can only daydream at this point. But I would start with suspension in my dream. Coil-overs, billet radious rods & links. Warren Johnson engine. Whatever transmission & gears he recommends. It's a dream, might as well go all out and have Warren build the chassis or whomever he uses to build his race car chassis. Tell him to hurry up and get mad at Warren for taking too long. Than take him fishing to make up.

$20k? That's it?
Does that include ALL repairs or just upgrades?
Mine goes like this:
$10k - Purchase Price with 30k miles.
$1k - New Tires
$3k - Initial Tune up/Misc Repairs.
$4k - Paint job
$1k - Engine mods (K&N open box and cleaner, Corsa Cat Back exhaust)
$2k - New Stereo System
Coming next month:
More Engine Mods - $4k
VBD Brake Upgrade - $700
New Bilstein FX3 shocks - $800
New Bushings - $600
Camber Brace and Cross Bars $600
Intererior Resto/upgrade parts - $250
I just got a quote on a 383 Crate motor install and it was for $10 including hop up bolt on parts. So $5k for motor, $3k hop up parts, $2K, labor!
