My car goals built 2002


nspired by arnett’s post I figured I would post my plans / goal for my car
Currently it is my daily driver and my only car. However I am wanting to turn it in to a road coarse car that for the most part will still be street league
I am looking for it to stay a v6 and stay naturally aspirated
Hopefully something that will hang with and beat mildly moded GT’s

Modes to be done fully built motor bored and stroked out to the max that is safe, maybe 4.4+L
P&P heads w/ valve job, roller rockers, harden push rods, valves, springs, and all that stuff
maby windstar GL uper intake
Oil cooler
Upgraded cooling system, radiator, water pump
Upgraded ignition system

Coil over suspension and maybe moded cobra IRS
Strut tower braces
Subfram connecters
Control arms
Etc.

Built trany
Trany cooler

Built rear end
Gears, axles, posi

Aluminum driveshaft

Any ideas criticisms, ideas, suggestions or any other form of input you might have will be greatly appreciated

if you want to save money you should probably wait on the new engine
get a tuner
iv heard nothing but good things about sct tuners
but i dont have 1 so im not real sure
but go for some gears and a 8.8 rear end, and a tlok if you do wait
that should get you going pretty good and shouldnt be more then 1000$ or so plus installation on gears and tlok and rear end im not sure how much for that it depends on where you live everything really just depends on what you get too
