Whats everyone doing over the winter months

[08nastygt]

Well for some of us the car season is coming down to a end. I only have about a month left of driving my car before it is away. I was seeing what people have planned for the cold months or if people just are doing things for christmas/income tax time. I'll start it off heres a list of stuff I am planning on.

Dynotech Driveshaft
UMI upper and lower control arms
Corbeau Racing seats
BBR Cams
Skinnes on the front to match the rears
Gt-500 fuel pump
A tune by a better shop then I went to last year

I am going to keep the 8lbs of boost for now and see what I'll do with cams and a little more aggressive tune. Right now I'm at 17 degrees of timing and running a 9.9 air fuel. I know its rich but I just found this out last month. So I'm hoping to lean it out a little and with the cams make around 480-490 on stock block. Which I really won't worry much as long as its still on the safe side and doesn't have a lot of timing to it. So what do some of you have planned maybe I can get some ideas?

If the overtime keeps going until March as planned....

Wolfe 6-point weld in roll bar
15" racestar wheels front & back
Melling billet oil pump
Install new comp springs and retainers
New timing chains, tensioners and guides
2.75" pulley & overdrive balancer for blower
Get my 3650 rebuilt and beefed up.

in a few weeks it will be about 50 at night at the track, no humidity, there will be some great runs.

[cm581978]

[waldogt07]

Well....my list goes.

~Finish up the Nitrous install and dyno tune where within the next few weeks
~New Heads (Have not decided on which ones to go with yet)
~Custom Airbrushing of the bottle, first aid kit, Underhood murial, and other parts under the hood
~Customize the trunk for show quality
~Finish all of the chrome for the interior
~Finish changing out the headliner and carpet to complete the interior
~New Rims and Tires ( Going with a 20'' Nitto Drag Radial on the back) ( HAve not decided on the rims yet but, suggestions would be great!!!)

There is a lot more stuff that I am going to do just have to sit down and write everything down....But this gives you an idea...

 

[Matt D]

Thanks matt , go big or go home !

Why are you going with the rad though? Stock one is more then enough. If you think your going to save weight your not... because the Mishimoto rad takes more fluid

also, don't put the cage until you need one bro, just another 50-60lbs not needed lol

 

[HOLYWD]

Well I'll ditch the radiator idea , goo looking . But I want a cage . Or just sell me your harness bar
