Default winter upgrades?
Since the season is coming to an end, what upgrades do you plan to do?
My plans are new headers, engine diaper and new slicks.

Check /replace bearings, fix all vacuum/oil leaks, idle bypass check valve for injection, loosen converter and replace broken spare rear end gears. Short and simple this year.

I am trying to get my DOUG NASH/WARRIOR/LS EFI intake finished and checked for port fitment and valley pan clearance before spring. Possibly could 'dial the thing in' somewhat on the convertible if I get the Tanks,inc gas tank installed with the Aeromotive parts and Bosch parts. right now designing/fabrication of the fuel rail brackets and the fuel lines/regulator mount seem to be the next step.
