Default Spending some money

I know I've dropped a couple of planned installation threads on you guys. i was pretty much brainstorming on getting faster. Well I finally let loose with some funds and got the following list of modifications. I'm hoping this will get me into the sub two minute mark at Buttonwillow and in the minute forties at California Speedway.

Motor Mods:
Ported factory throttle body
Ported FAST 90mm
Vararam (Halltech for sale)
Catless X pipe
Everything is going to set me back about 2 g's with dyno tuning and labor.

Suspension:
Pfadt super stock front sway bar
PFadt chamber plates
This came out to about $900. Word to all the C5 and C6 guys. stay away fromt he Pfadt rear sway bars. Too still , it will have you spinning like an S2000.

Brake:
Deleting the fog lights and converting the openings to intakes that feed the front brakes. $800 total parts and labor. This will pay for itself in two months in brake pad and rotor longevity alone. I am also upgrading to a dedicated race pad. Either the Hawk or the carbotechs.

Tires:
Hoosier R6.

I ordered all the parts today. I will do some prep work and then drop the car off at excelsior motorsports for completion on October 1st.

October 10th I have my first TTU event and I'm hoping to cement myself in the top three with this list of mods.
