Default Santa's list....things to add?

O. K.........
This is the list. 1980 L-82 C3, 400hp 454 being built, headers/side pipes w/outside collectors, deep core large cap rad, elec fan, L-88 hood, 3 sp stick w/od, serious auto cross susp, pro racing ground effects, twin race rated buckets, dual 5 pt. harnesses, chrome molly cage, Bell full coverage helmits, steel rally wheels w/Cooper tires, Midnight blue paint W/blue flames, and the cahones to drive it. (30 gal. alum. beer keg in back to carry shine)
Now, what else would y'all suggest? (besides a lobotomy)
How about brake syst.?
A retractable chute to deploy upon entering a turn and repacks it's self before pulling down the straight.
Dual lowrise w/Carter AFB Quads? ( I've found that Hollys stall out in the turns without modifying the bowls.)
Any advise from you other horse power/performance addicts would be greatly appreciated.

Good Idea, but Im' going for a long range bomber. Low rpms, lots of power and takes the twisties like it's painted on the road. ( the "Starship" pretty much takes turns like that now )
Hell PG, we are neighbors, just get online and I'm right there.

I had a '55 Chev that I put a cable to the dist., so I could fine tune it while runnin' on a roundy round track.
I'll look into your suggestion, thanks Russ!!!
