oh thanks sooo much that really eases my thoughts

The reason you don't know where to put the SLP line lock kit is because the brake upgrade section is mysteriously missing. $54000 and no brakes?

Bad reputation for poor build quality. Lots of broken builds and dickovers, but its been a few years since Ive seen word on them. Shit, I thought the guy went out of biz.

oops yeah Well ive not included the stage 3 motorsports drilled and slotted brake kit.

So you are going to spend $54k on a dream build and skimp on a cheap brake set up? Why not get a nice Baer 14" kit or someone else's big brake kit???

Well you know you got a point there....

 

[Boozshey]

Actually you know what. Looking at your build are you going to have street tires for the car? Cause you only have slicks with small wheels listed.

If you are going to put them on the big brake kits won't fit, but I think there are some sweet brake setups on BMR's page. Check them out!!!

Hey thx man! oh and yeah Street tires (Yes I originally factored it in with the cost also) would be the ASA AR9 With Spoke Inserts or the NASCAR Fontana

 

[stkjock]

Those ASAs are only 8" wide in the 18" version... hard to get a decent size tire on that for all the power you are planing..... the Fontana's are not much better @ 20x8.5

LOL - no offense, but you are in for a shocker if you think that's all it's going to take. Your rear, as pointed out already, needs to be addressed, and for what you are wanting to do - you are going to need a hell of a lot more than a BAP for a fuel system.

Best of luck and I'd just double your budget now in your head...

 

[retfr8flyr]

Well your edited list looks much better than what you started with but like Mark says you need to figure on spending almost twice what you think it will cost. Bogart will make race wheels that will fit the Wilwood brake setup but for street wheels you will need to check for clearance. I know the 18 inch Shelby Razors will fit and 18 inch ZE Boost wheels will fit but just barely in the front. As far as the rest goes the Boost a Spark is a waste of money. For fuel, since you're starting from scratch, I would get the Fore triple fuel pump setup from Lethal Performance instead of the GT500 fuel pumps and the Boost a Pump. Good luck with the build.

Your rear, as pointed out already, needs to be addressed,

His shop will thoroughly address his "rear" when charging to install all of that stuff. Bring Vaseline!

 

[silverpoison]

shit.....sometimes I think a GT500 was the way to go......

for now the way things look for me, I am putting a BBF on my S197 and make it a real race car and buying a 2010 shelby on 2011.

well could you help me out? should I get the currie? (I was told that the Moser axels and Eaton diff would be enough to handle) what have you done to yours to handle the power?
