1. Best above improvement: Going from the 14" Enkei wheels to 15" Weld Draglites. Then after 12 years on the same BFG Radial TA tires, stepping up to the 18's and new rubber

2. Least effective above improvement: Everything that I have done so far has been at least some improvement.

3. Next improvement: Engine refresh, I'm getting some blow by

4. Above car handles IMO on a 1-10 ( 10 best Z06, 1 yugo): I get a lot of compliments for having stock suspension, so maybe a 5.
