Yeah I try to switch it up and keep things interesting.... I should have some more changes soon. I haven't been in much of a hurry because of this harsh winter.

A few updates.....

Since having my car back on the road after rebuilding the rear end there has been one thing that has been bothering me. The suspension.....its rough with the FRPP K-Springs, ride stance is perfect. The stock struts and shocks and been through a beating swapping springs numerous times and they also have about 35,000 miles on them....I think its time to switch it up and soften the ride a little to make it more comfortable. I do drives this monster daily too.....

I've been looking at the D-Specs and the lower priced HP series. Im looking for comfort and performance....I know that the D-Specs are a good choice. That or the Koni's. Does anyone have any expierence with the HP series?

I will be also adding caster/camber plates for adjustments with this install.

2nd on this list is that I will be looking to swap my trans this summer along with the engine first overall. I plan on grabbing:

-TR-6060 conversion
-Steeda Tri-Axe for 6060
- McLeod RST Twin Disk, Alumium Flyweel
- 1 piece Aluminum Driveshaft w/ safety loop.

The rear will stay the same with the 4.56s through the first engine mods.

Yeah... If all goes well that will be my spring/summer project along...

Then in the winter I will be pulling the motor rebuilding or swapping it.

My plan is to grab a 5.4 iron block, have it machined and bored, stroked....assembled with 9:3 CR setup.... Buy stage 3 heads (3V or 4V) haven't decided yet, with blower cams, and the whole nine yards.
Then grabbing a turbo and going from there...

Yeah it should be a fun project....I gearing more towards a Precision 67mm, billet impeller, with surge ports. Then doing all the custom piping myself.

I'm looking to get around 650-700rwhp and keep it conservative enough so I can cruise around.

yeah. I want to do something slightly different. I've been disecting Ricks @ Livernois's GT1000R and I really like that setup he went with. I may do the same concept just with Turbo instead of a Whipple 4.0L

It uses a wet sump aluminum block with 3.705 big bore sleeves, and is punched out to 358ci.... It's either that or seeing if I can throw his 404ci SVT raptor motor in there... That would be fun too if the transition isnt too bad.
