what supporting mods are next?
for the time being, i'm finished with the modifications concerning the engine. I have ported heads ls6 intake and the good old hot cam. (not looking for anything too radical untill i build my 408 *grin*) I'm looking to get as much out of this as possible at the track. I've already got all the boltons and i'm looking more into the rest of the drive train. Things I already know i'm changing or adding are a spec 3+ clutch, 4.10 gears, and i'm looking into rear end parts now, but i'm not overly familiar with independent rear suspension, so i'm calling for advice on where to spend my money so i can maximize the strength of the rear end to handle some 3k-4k launches.
My goal for the car is to make some mid-high 11 second motor passes and spray it into the 10.9x range. My goals aren't the topic of discussion here as i know with the rest of the drive train capable of handling a couple hard launches the numbers are very achievable, just need help with what rear end parts to buy and who to buy them from.

you may want to consider a transmission and diff brace. also may want to put some billet synchro keys and new shift forks in the trans. and if you dont have the 01+ trans, put in the carbon fiber blocker rings.

These 2 links should be all you need for rear end work.
