72 Nova Autocross update

After doing some Goodguys and SCCA autocrossing this past year (I got hooked) I've decided it was time to make some upgrades to the Nova so I could be a little more competitive.
Upgrades planned so far are...
-new tires; Falken Azenis 245/45 R17 and 255/40 R17
-upgrade factory 10-bolt differential; 3.73 gears, Moser 30 spline axles and Detroit Trutrac
-CPP "totally tubular" upper and lower control arms
-Viking double adjustable coil overs and rear shocks
-CPP AFX C5 spindles and hubs
-13"rotor upgrade to my existing 4th gen Camaro front disc brakes
-FAST EZ EFI 2.0 fuel injection

Here's some pics f what's done so far, let me know what you think....

What SCCA Class were you running in?

I finally got the rear end back under the car. I have yet to get it out and drive it, but I'm hoping its a decent difference considering I'm going from an open diff 3.08 gear to a trutrac with 3.73s. Also, I just picked up a set of front 13" C4 Grand Sport brakes. I have been told the calipers/pad size is not as good as the current 4th gen Camaro stuff I have on the car, but I'm hoping the 1" larger diameter rotors will still give me some increase in braking ability (not to mention they are thicker and cross drilled)
