Project SS!

[HAULN-SS]

So, being that I have everything good and tore apart, I think I have decided to at least do a litle bit of prep for whenever I get to the next round of upgrades. I am going to order some SPC Performance springs. These are 1.2" drop in the front and 1" drop in the rear. The fronts are 530lb springs and the rears are 135lb. In a perfect world, where my bank account was overflowing, I would have also ordered varishock single adjustable shocks, but they are $400 for a pair, so I ended up getting bilsteins to go on all 4 corners for $300. The reasoning is simple - I can replace the shocks easier than the springs, and I can always sell them on the Gbody forums later to recoup some of the cost if I ever decided I need the adjustable shocks.

I am kicking around ordering a 9" rear to go in the car at some point because it's kind of pointless with these cars to put a brake kit on the rear or anything because any big power numbers will grenade the 7.5" rears. That being said, I think after I get this last bit of stuff buttoned up I am going to work on tuning the SBC350, which has never had an honest attempt at. I'll then drive it and see where I'm at with it. If it is still feeling like it needs something I am thinking of doing an LS3 swap/4l80e swap. I could offset quite a bit of the cost by selling the engine I built I believe, and it has become pretty routine to do with these cars. I actually think I want to stay with an automatice in it too because I already have the ATS for all my shifter/twisty needs.
