Grumpy...........

Thanks for the tip. Believe me, I would LOVE to put my car in their hands for a few weeks, if only to make sure we finished the car correctly and soundly. It is just a LONG trip to get it there.

I suppose my question was directed a little more along the lines of SPECIFICS.

I suppose for the track, the engine would need to be preped with an oil cooler, road race pan, rev limiter, catch can, turkey pan, puke tank, and ???????????? What else?

I suppose one would want a battery cut off switch, racing harness, roll bar, and fire extinguisher for safety. What else ????

I suppose the car would handle better with sway bars, race tires, racing brakes, and stiffer springs/shocks. What else??????

Other than racing tires, my car already has most of this stuff. So my question is, "What else can/should be done without altering the originality too much?" (i.e., I prefer to keep the toploader, 3:31 rear, 15-inch wheels, 427FE, etc.)

Can anyone add to this list? What am I missing?

Regards,

John
