My birthday is almost here, and my wife wants to know what to get me.

Car is as follows:
90 LX, stock bottom end, gt40ps ported(ported well) milled .030 for 10:1 comp., Pro Products intake, F-cam, 65mm TB, 24# injectors, C&L maf, long tubes, OR X-pipe, 2 chamber flowmasters, Adj. wet nitrous kit, 3.55:1 rear gears, upper and lower tube control arms, 50/50s in back, 4cyl. springs 90/10s up front.

Best ET to date 12.006 @116.5.

Should I get 3.90s and Axles, A 2nd stage of n20, summits weld knock-offs, or any other suggestions welcome, but I kinda wanna leave the motor alone(on the inside).

.047 n2o, .028 fuel, I cant go past 125hp with the shitty solenoids I have, thats why I was thinking a 2nd stage, mabe 2)100 hp shots, one off the line the other at 4000rpms, or somthing like that. I'm kinda leaning twards the gears and axles though.

I would say definitely a lower gear...What RPM are you going through the traps at?

What tires/slicks/DRs are you using? Have you ever messed around with tire pressure. (just cheap things you can do to try to get a few hundreths or so)

you can get axels for about 250,if he goes 31 spline he can get a carrier for anywhere from 300 on up,a locker is like 600.wheels just depends probably 600- however much you want to spend.5 lug drums 100,rotors you can get new for an 82-84 baby lincoln and work fine about 80 somethin dollars a piece.

I was gonna get 28 spline 4 lug axles, I figure with a better alloy I could keep all my stock stuff, I do have the MK7 5 lug front swap in my garrage, I just don't wanna put them on cause the 95 spindles are better for not having your hubs hanging out, I like the stock look anyway. I just rebuilt me track-lock a short time ago, and I'm prolly the biggest cheap ass there is.

I'm trying to get by and keep it under $400, that means no carrier, and no 31 splines. Anyway I'm gonna call it a done car once it gets in the 11s on a regular basis.
