Rick,

It would be nice to have some suspension upgrades and to improve the braking. While most of the cars that you see flying by me are running 150-250 more horsepower than I have, the more critical factor is their brake systems as opposed to mine. Braking is what allows you to carry speed deeper into the corner and improve times. Those Corvettes, Mustangs and Camaro's are all running 4 wheel discs with vented rotors. None of them are running rear drums like the originals. I am running solid rotors that have a tendency to warp with increased temps. The pads that i have been using are not the best either, so going to a better pad should allow me to go deeper into the corners before braking and with some suspension upgrades that should help as well. Looking forward to next year.

Jim
