Time for shopping, need some input

[SMWS6TA]

Ok guys, need some input.

Mommy has approved $1200.00 for me to be able to spend on my T/A when out return comes in.


My signature has what I have done to my car so far. Future goals are a solid street car with some track. For now I want a solid street car.


So far I plan on these items:

LS7 Clutch Kit (Need)
Tune by Frost (Need)
O2 sensors (Need, still on the ones that came from factory)
SLP Airlid
Sub Frame connectors - currently looking @ UMI weld in
Strut tower Brace - again UMI

And if I still have any left over - Hurst Shifter.

I'm not totally sold on UMI, willing to listen to others opinion.

The clutch and tune are a must!
In regards to the Clutch, I replaced last summer the Master & Slave cylinders (Didn't have $$ to replace clutch at the time) and I have 2 questions about this?

1) Will I have to drain the slave and refill the fluid?

2) What else do I need to replace in regards the clutch kit? My understanding it comes with the Pressure Plate, Disc, Flywheel and bolts.

I started this in a wrong section so I am moving it here.

I would skip the strut tower brace. Spend the money on the shifter or control arms. Possibly some koni shocks for the rear.

You don't have to "drain" it but you will most likely have to bleed the system after the clutch is replaced.

I went with UMI everything on our car - bolt in SFC's, LCA's, panhard and tunnel mount torque arm. The fit and quality of their pieces is very good imo. No hesitation in recommending their products.

2nd that. I put bolt-in SFCs from UMI on my car late summer. After dribing it since new it made a tremendous difference in the feel of the car. The quality of the parts is very good.

I want to get the body solid first. Next project new hood and paint body, then either a H/C/I, Stroker, or just go all out and get a LS6. But that is in the future, I need to pace my wallet and not give household 6 a stroke by getting everything at once.

Mr Luos vids are my inspiration

good call man.

your list looks good. i would however ditch the bar..dont need it. look into LCAs..with the relocation brackets..and as always..i suggest weld in.

[SMWS6TA]

Bolt ins vs weld in - can't you weld the bolt in later?

[marksls1ta]

yes you can weld them in at a later date.

The weld ins are cheaper though

Thanks,
Mark
