Build thread- 73 duster, forged 5.7 w/ PS and AC, 5 spd, big brakes and floater rear

Car is dual purpose. It has AC, stereo, full interior, etc., and it's got a 4 pt removable roll bar, 5 pt harnesses, etc. I've been casually looking for a 'racecar' to take over track duties, mainly for increased safety gear. I'm unwilling to make the duster full track, as I want to be able to cruise with my son in the back one day (he's 8 mo old right now).

Oh yeah, I'm always trying to think of ways to make it go faster! I'm definitely approaching a point of diminishing returns, though. Things that would definitely help:
Drop 400 lb
Improve weight bias (currently 54.5/45.5)
.82 OD gear set (just need to put in)
Rear spoiler or wing, and extend the front splitter to match downforce
Fit larger wheels and tires (shoot- the Hoosiers I had were squeezed on the 9.5" wheels, which 'rolled in' the edges- lost about 1" of contact patch on EACH SIDE due to that! So really I was effectively running a 9" slick not an 11")

That's the 'list' I figure I would need to satisfy to make the car competitive at a USCA event. Not a cheap list; could probably buy a road race stock car for that!

Oh. USCA allows nitrous. So I could always spray the straights. That would be wild.
