Subframe braces are definitely a good idea. The rear subframe mounting holes are bigger than the bolts so under hard corners they have been known to move. On the strip I don’t know if it would be worth anything
How long do you plan to leave the stripper on? Once you get through the paint wash it off and stop using it. To have a chance of damaging the epoxy you would probably have to apply it to the epoxy straight and leave it there for a long time and probably have to reapply it many times. Maybe you...

I worked at a powder coating company along time ago and this is exactly what they used. Worked good then but you are probably right about it not being as good anymore
Around 3.5 pulley is going to be your limit before you start getting belt slip. Any smaller and you’re gonna need a grip tech type pulley. What you should look into is a torque booster setup. Run a 3.0 or 2.7 pulley and convert to a 8rib setup. (I changed mine to a 8rib, pretty easy) then get a...
Not what I would have done but if it works and you’re good with it then that’s all that matters. The only thing I would say is tuck that wire away better
I had all kinds of mods and I ended up removing most of them and going to a air suspension setup that allows me to adjust the height and rate/stiffness independently on each corner
If it’s never going to see track or strip use just get a set of springs that are at the level you are looking for and your good. The stock suspension will handle anything that you will throw at it just street driving. Remember all these performance suspension mods are not designed for comfort...
