Gears + Nitrous= go fast. just don't get stupid with the nitrous and you will be fine. follow all the instructions, and maybe have a reputable shop help set it up.

If i was you , i would get 4:10 gears cause they make it seem like you have a supercharger and an off road x pipe. but dont dump the factory H pipe cause you need it for emissions. just make sure you get your E-test before you install youre off road X pipe. those two thinks will make a big difference.

Might help if we knew more about the ride... a CAI isn't much of an option on a 66 289.... lol
Will agree on the gears and exhaust (headers included) for the most part!

Depends what you want...

I would say cold air, exhaust and some rye candy fore the folks behind you, sequential lights....

I don't use my right foot hard so I am not sure what gears would do for me...

I too am looking for fun stuff to put on my car but lots of stuff opn the market looks cheap..

What I am looking for are nice floor mats...they don't exist around here or on e-bay..

Ian.
