I say power it up man. A trans should be first on the list then get your timing set correctly. Maybe some flares for the fenders would be nice. And how about getting your A/C fixed so when we cruise we are doing it in the cool????

Also I would say some tow mirrors would be nice as well. Speed is great, but you have to look good too!!

Hmmm perhaps A/C would be a wise investment. I just need a new condensor.

I agree that would be very nice to have. Does yours have a leak in it??

Go with option 2 but skip the intake horn, and use that money on something else, like the roll pan your or the 5" exhaust that you were talking about

The intake horn will be a hand built unit like mine so it doesn't cost too much, just time. And his dad has all the tools and such too which makes it a lot easier!!

Yeah I don't think it would take more than an hour to crank out an intake horn... just need to order the tubing to make it.

on the trans get a billet input atleast and save some time and money..... with a large triple disk converter you will snap a input quick....

do the trans first.... rollpan, motor work, ie. injectors, turbo, GSK, springs, etc.

I know I'll be getting a transmission first but what do you guys suggest I get? I'd kinda like to get one thats pre built and have it shipped to me and then ship my "core" back in.
DTT, Suncoast, or Goerand?

As for turbo and injectors thats where I get lost! I was thinking some 90hp ddp's and an HX3/40 or would I need even more turbo than that?

I'd really like to hit 500hp but thats a ways off

go with SDX for your injectors, and your gonna need a better charger than the 35/40

I like my suncoast. It's taken my abuse for the past 3 years and it still shifts nice and firm. I agree with Dave, go with SDX for your injectors. Correct spray angle, good quality, and half the price of DDPs.
