Gear heads inside..

I have a full build in mind for the suspension. A cage is a must, concidering that I want to run in True Street(or at all mind you). I am planning on a slightly narrowed 9" with a mini-tub out back. Coil overs, 4 link, and so on. The usual players at all four corners. However, I am going to go over the whole car and reinforce the unibody. The last thing I need is to spend all the time and money on a combo, and the car pretty much tear itself apart. I have thought about the G-force trannys, and will dig into that a little deeper.

I should have specified a few things first though. On the street, I plan on running only 650-ish. At the track, I would like to see another 100-150. I have thought about a NOS kit for it, and am not ruling it out. I'm just not a fan of NOS. So a tune, and turn the wick up on the boost and hey, 800 sounds good.

At first, I don't think I want to install the turbo. I think I would like to drive the car a few weeks NA. Mainly to feel the difference between a 350-400 car and a 650-700 car. I've had some pretty stout cars in the past, but this 600+ range is a first. I've driven a couple(read: 2) cars with just a shade over 600, but living with one is a different story. Especially a Mod motor Fox. This build will take a while, and am open to any suggestions. I can assure you that when I am done, and this beast hits the road, I will be filming every track event, car show, and what not.

Anyone in the Fayetteville, NC area that wants to drink some beer, eat some good food, and maybe earn some free parts(I have so many parts around here, it's not even funny) hit me up sometime. I'll post pics of the car when I pic it up. Later.
