Sounds like your setup pretty good for handling, it will be awsome in autox. I would also aim for more horsepower other than just the muffler and cat converter. Try to find a nice used racing beat header. Your also gonna have to let the engine breathe in too if you want full potential of the exhaust like a new carb. and intake would be good. I dont know if all that will fit in to your budget with everything elses but you can usually find nice used stuff for cheap and if you do so youll have yourself a nice little 7.

i think with all the stuff i have now it will leave me alittle more money cuz my fudn got jsut tad bigger with mom adding alittle so i think i will probly go with a holly 465 and racing beat manifold and maybe throw some 15x6.5 buddy club rims and not sure about tire size yet either a 195/50-15 or 205/50-15 which one is a lower profile because i dont want a low profile tire because of cousion facter since this will be a daily driver car for school too....

The 195/50/15 have the lower profile. The 205s should sit nicely. The holley/racingbeat setup should work good for you but you might want to go with the streetport setup so that if you ever want to streetport your engine you can, either way your gonna have to buy a higher presssure fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator. Like i said though, youll have to open up your exhaust a little more.

Why build a car for just fun and not for a specific class? Just wondering....

I would also get a fat front sway bar from RB. Also re-think the wheel tire combo, the larger the rim the more mass you will have to rotate, plus look at tire cost.
I like 14" wheels if you plan to change rear axle gearing which will help you accellerate faster.

Anyways, it sounds like fun.

well im jsut plannin on riding around the track and messin around on the roads with my friends when no cops are around becasue my friends car is setup for drifting and theres an old parking lot that is about 200 yards long and 300 yard wide which is really nice to drift and do short runs in....a corrvette club meets there once a year too....
