Thanks coldrider and yes indeed it's going to need some bigger tires and brakes! I had a friend stumble onto a set of FREE 295/50 15 tires on old chrome wheels. Those things look absolutely monstrous next to the 215/60s that I'm currently running.

As for brakes, eventually I will get some Wilwoods up front and swap the drums for disc in the rear, but that budget thing keeps getting in my way...

I told my son that I wanted it to be just fast enough to scare me.
