Well here it is. I have decided to put a poll on here of sorts.
Post your responses, with some insight as to your choices.
The car: 1990 Corvette. L98 with TPI. Stock
Choices:
Power Adders:
NOS
Procharger
Turbocharged
Internal Engine modifications:
Roller Rockers and hardened Push Rods
Gear Drive in place of Timeing chain
Larger Cam
Large tube runners for intake
other work:
Transmission service
Change torque converter
change rear gears from stock 3:07
Other Sugestions:
Stand alone fuel management system
Stand alone Spark Management system
Drag Radials (Already on the way)
True slicks
Different Rims than stock rims
Please post any other sugestions.
Right now I am just weighing my options. I have not got an unlimited budget so I want to do a little when I can, and plan to do more when I can. If it is something really high dollar, then I want to put aside some for that item and budget it in as I can. I will try to post the results as they come in. If you can, please post any other sugestions you might have for me.

Drag or road race...........or just because you can?
Drag.............solid rear end......period.
turbo..........the guys doing it in c4's can't keep them cool......unless you do the turbo under the rear end.
supercharger...........lots of kits.
N/A.............most reliable
stand alone ecm.........a must for easy tunning........I happen to have a accel gen 7 with all the good stuff I might be talked out of.

Thank you for responding. Interesting....
A little more info. This car is a daily driven street car, winter included. I plan on doing some bracket racing because I find it a blast, however I do plan on driving this on the streets. Might take it to the Bay Area and back a few times in the next coule of years, and it will be making a wine country trip, and a couple of coast runs I am sure.

I forgot NOS...........thats some cheap Horsepower.........I happen to have one of those for sale...........it's a wet kit........$250.00 bucks..............thats also how I got my new high rise hood..........don't mix supercharging and nitrous................stay under 150 HP and it's doable with a stock engine...........way fun when you hit the button............the problem is lifting the heads.

Torque converter/gears/NOS/slicks. First two will make it more fun on the street and also help at the track. Last two will be for track use. Start motor work after/if you blow it up from running NOS

Start motor work after/if you blow it up from running NOS Here is your bang for the buck list. If you keep the NOS at a safe level as well as safe rich tune wise you should be fine. Get another block and start slowly building your new motor,a large cube N/A setup will make a great all around car.
