I need some ideas.
alright, the time for me to start laying out a plan for my car is rapidly approaching.
Here are my goals, with a 1 year timeline, using a TII -
Beat a stock Camaro Z28 in drag racing.
Be competitive at a local level in Autocrossing.
Not wake up neighbors, or parents, when I pull out of the drive way at midnight.
Still have stereo system.
Mildly impress girls with car
have the car functional atleast a total of 11 months out of the year.
Now, here Is how Im thinking I can achive these goals, In steps
step one - Spring, 2003 - Get car, Put on 17x9 lightweight wheels, and maby falken azenis tires, maby BFG G-Force (dont know what for sure, yet), vented hood
step 2 - Mid Summer, 2003 - Full Exhaust system, From the Turbos all the way back. As wide and light as I can get, within reason of price and sound. Also, New, better radiator
step 3 - Early/Mid Fall, 2003 - Fuel system, FMIC,
step 4 - Beginning of Winter, 2003 - Winter Tires, Computer Systems.
step 5 - Early Spring 2004 - NEW, BIG TURBO, and whatever mods required to make it work.
well? what do you guys think of that plan? do you think I could afford it, with a TOTAL budget of 15k, throughout the whole project? What changes would you make?

I wouldn't worry about "getting wide and light" when you haven't mentioned any suspension upgrades... Beating a Z28 isn't that hard, especially with a turbo back exhaust and a fuel cut defenser... Autocross requires nice tires and all, but if you get some nice springs/struts/anti-roll bars/strut tower braces, you will out handle almost anything.

I'd put looks on the back burner for a little while. Heres the order I'd prolly go(or have gone):
intake(TID mod)
fcd
gauges(boost/egt)
dp/mp
larger fuel pump
s-afc
upgraded radiator
upgraded shocks/struts/springs
larger injectors
catback
fmic
You can add a bov and better tires along the way somewhere as well as whatever cosmetic mods you'd like.
