Actually, planned down the road after the rest of the exhaust is rear end (I have 3:12's not sure where I want to go yet), possibly a stall & torque converter, then relatively mild cam and new heads...(prolly while doing the cam/heads, go ahead with an underdrive pulley and loose the stock harmonic balancer since I understand they are notorious for going bad)...prolly spread out over the next 2 to 2.5 years...want to pay cash for everything and not run up my CC
