Check out the ITX form factor for your motherboard. There are some that are like 6"x6" and have about everything onboard. If you stick with a HD and stick in a little LCD and controls you could store music and other diagnostic software things like that on it. A laptop hard drive is small you could probably build something that would fit in the normal radio location. I've read a lot of these forums and to mod your brakes and add a rear anti sway plus weld in spacers instead of the bushings on your cradle mounts would cost you less than $400 and the power you will be pushing, it sounds like these things will be a necessity. Read that Agee (guy) or something like that brake mod what he says only cost like $200. If you live in Indy maybe when it gets done I can see you run it I'm about an hour north on 65 and just getting started myself on my Fiero projects.

That's the form factor I've been looking at. I also already have aluminum cradle bushings, going to go all poly elsewhere, and add a 1 1/4 bar on the back, along with a 2" lowering and coilovers. Eventually I plan to fit 17-18x11-12's out back. Right now the 205's will do though

I actually live in KS...Name is "FastIndy" cause it's an Indy Pace car...and...yeah. Indy Pace Car.

http://www.fierosails.com/index.html SECRETS has some good info. In case you haven't seen it yet.

http://www.webelectricmagazine.com/99/4/brakes.htm Has some real technical formulas and some good info to dial in your brakes the way you want them.

Looks like you have the suspension covered.
I was checking out "The Ogre" site he has some good info to but he said that the brake upgrades aren't as necessary as some say. ME???
Those motherbaords that your looking at are pretty amazing at what you can get and so small. Look up some Touch Screens (Crestron) is one I know of. You can get those setup with hot keys to different control pages in the PC and have slider bars and things like that to control everything. Fuel mixture, turbo whatever you need.
Good luck on this and keep us updated

A bit of an update...
The shop has started with my intake, which will soon be the SD4 manifold from hell.
I've shipped my head and valves off to bryson to get ceram. coated (thanks!), and been calling around for custom pistons. Arias wants about $160 each for pistons, so I'm still looking around. So, right now, pretty much just playing the waiting game.
