Thanks for the add trackbird! Id just like to give a brief description of what my plans are and what I have. so any slight inputs would be appreciated! as I build I will post up
the build and ask for further input.

Currently my car is a: 1996 Camaro SS lt1/t56 with full SLP billstien lv2 suspension.
: Car has powerdyne 6# supercharger kit installed stock tune with fmu (for now, hope to fix this later)
: Also installed is a moser 12 rear to the max with goodies
: 28 (or 26 don't fully remember its been a few years since ordered) axles
: truetrac locker diff
: Richmond 4:11 gears
: 6 puc performance clutch

Future mods to start : Brake upgrades, start with 98+ spindles and ls1 brakes to start off with and see where I need to go from there.
: 3 point subframe connectors ( possible slp or umi?) would like to get the transmission crossmember while I'm there as well.
: Tuff stuff lt1 high volume water pump for cooling
: strut tower brace ( again SLP or umi? maybe BMR as well.)
: Good set of performance street tires ( I don't want to go with R compounds yet. id like to learn on street tires and progress as I learn.)
: Stainless brake lines and good brake fluid flush.

All in all these few minor upgrades will not be too expensive, yet should be some decent starter upgrades to the car for racing at Sebring international. (this will be my primary track)
any suggestions to these upgrades would be appreciated. I don't like to waste money on upgrades, so its hard for me to not just go and spend the $1500 on wilwoods to start.
but I will if its THAT much better and worth the money. Thanks in advance.

upgraded cooling system, oil cooler and yes you should consider adding the inter-cooler. Its not that hard to pick up the pace that on a boosted car it's going to create alot of heat. Then adding in the 4.11 its going to be a lot of shifting to keep the revs down. A stock boosted motor is just a ticking time bomb in my opinion. I too came from a drag background. Let me tell you it wasn't long before I was WOT for 20 min sessions. That's just how I drive.

If Sebring is going to be your home track so to speak. Its Big, fast=breaking demands. I would consider the c5 upgrade, track pad and brake ducts. These cars with 330rwhp and the right setup/driven well are way faster than you think.

Is the c5 brakes adequate for more though? I tend to overbuild my projects.. I'm not sure how the c5 brakes will hold up compared to a ctsv kit or better. I will be going with the Ls1 spindles as I have a set already sitting here. And the ctsv brakes are basically a bolt on at that point.

Would the ctsv 4 pistons be significantly more than I'd ever need?? Or would getting a wilwood 6 piston or ctsv 6 piston caliper be worth the little extra money?

I've read the wilwood kits are roughly 17lbs lighter than stock Ls1 brakes, which makes me think the unsprung weight would be really nice paired with a lightweight 18" wheel.. There's just so many options Im having a hard time deciding on when enough is really enough 😂
