Strip only - Any regrets???

my car isn't the fastest ( runs low 12's) but its set up more towards the trac and i hated it . so i have been slowly changing t to more of a cruiser. the suspension id pretty much there now. still donna put a heavier spring up front.. i got the tires i want on the car so it now corners very nice now( way better then the skinnies...lol) and next on the list is the cam,gears and tighten the converter.... i borrowed a set of 3:55 gears to replace the 3:91 gears and i love it now.. still want more of a freeway gear but it works for now. i like the car more now then i have since i bought the car back in 2004. i got board of just being able to cruie around town nicely.. i took it to carlisle (2 hour drive) last year and it coul only cruise about 65 mph and it was screaming at that speed.. no fun for me.. the 3:55's will help allot this year and when i detune it the rest of the way i think i'll enjoy it that much more.. the goal is to be able to cruise it anywhere i want.. i want to do the nats next year in it,, thats a 7 hour drive .
