btw i found the crossover parts to use metric GM circle track parts with the FWD knuckles so you can ditch the wimpy oem LCA and get rid of the toe out under power flex
Nice, any links pictures and price ?

I'll have more budget to throw around this year into the project. Still looking on leads for built 4t65hd and a LSD as well.
Will also want to update teh 4t80e to the latest valve body mods and whatever I can do to make it not drop out of gear when launching with a lot of boost.
So far new trans is OK and withheld a lot of power/torque without failing. However I lost my 4th gear, being a 3.71 gear ratio I top out before the 1/8 mile with the rear trans.
I need 3.11 and I would love to be able to use 4th gear.

I eventually wanted to do 1/2 mile racing perhaps more once I get the car to go 100% straight under power and when I have the proper gearing.

And to answer your question, no not fully decided, I like the looks of my special edition 2007 but I know I'll be carrying 100-175lbs more with the switch.

The other reason I want to switch is there was too many 97-2003 GPs done over the year, I want something unique looking at the drag strip.
My Welder is unsure if he wants to buy anymore. 8K is a lot for a second car (he has a new Subaru STI as a summer car)
