Default 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....

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)
