Not sure, but it will probably be easier this time around with your lift.

That's taking weight reduction to an extreme...

TTiX for sure. This is the second car I am putting an X kit on. ECS fuel system, of course. I think I will start with just my stock motor since you and others have gone pretty far on a stocker. Later on, maybe an LS2? I want to see how good I can tune a 346 with a mild turbo cam first before moving on to a bigger forged motor.

All the typical supporting mods... aftermarket rad (probably a Dewitt's), external oil cooler, alky injection, WCCH Stage II heads (had them for a while, would love to go to AFRs when I find a good deal on them).

Would also like to make sure all the kinks are worked out for this winter since I want to drive the **** out of it at road courses. Hence me starting early and going with an easy, known build.
