i am kinda leaning towards a turbo with the LS1.
I already have the long block, but I have planned on running with a carb and a big n2o plate under it.
this is mostly going to be for racing where i "CAN" drive it to a cruise in
Right now this is what i am planning.
Engine
LS1 with a bunch of goodies in it
Edelbrock Victor Jr Carb intake
Holley carb(cfm depends on engine internals)
TH-350 RMVB, TB and Nitrous converter
9" rear(gears TBD)
Caltrac knock offs with coil over rear shocks and anti roll bar
Roll cage
Fuel cell in the back
this is just a basic idea.
my big hang ups are the Cam, carb size, gears and converter
most everything right now is disassembly and cleanup. the good news is that it is an base model 99 with manual locks and windows
I am basically going to remove everything that I dont need and box the frame in and strengthen it up really well.
it is in pretty good shape and just needs a coat of paint over the ugly ass green that the company painted it(Gregory pest control) lime green
other than that, I think that it should be set.
I really care about going fast not so much of the extra show car stuff.
I am going to splurge on the wheels though and go with some gold magnums with a gloss black paint job and some ghost flames(nothing too fancy though)
