My vision for Vivian is two staged. The first stage will take place over the next two years: No engine mods - only axleback exhaust with suspension and appearance mods. The next stage will be to put a Roush TVS supercharger on my 5.0 and full exhaust, hoping to put down around 500 HP. I just want a "set it and forget it" weekend warrior that is very reliable. On to the build...

Attaboy. I think that having a vision/plan is a key. Certainly more likely to end up with a combination that all works together. Doesn't mean you can't alter along the way, but every choice is a compromise. No free lunches!!!

You might think about painting the rotor centers black too. Cheap, and I love how mine turned out.
