had this car one day and im full of questions

[explicitone]

here is what I would do

4.10 gears
long tube headers with matching mid pipe
drop in filter
u/d pullies
and before putting sticky tires on the car upgrade the rear

I good street set up would be a 31 spline truck diff (8.8)
moser or strange 31 spline axles and a good diff cover

and of coarse a good short throw shifter like a pro 5.0 or tri axe

with these mods and good driving it is possible to get the car in the low 13s to high 12s

as for a programmer I would use any of the SCT stuff

as for tires if it would be for the strip and some street I would say get a 15 drag rim of your choice and throw either some ET streets or the new M/T drag radials ( I use these and they hook better then the ET streets)
