Default Just Bought $2k Worth Of Mods!!

Alright so as i stated during the school year, i have started my modding. And ive gone a little overboard haha. I ordered JetHot Sterling Coated LT Pacesetter Headers, brembo blank calipers, hawk pads, TR55-IX Spark Plugs, SLP Lid, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, Underdrive Crank/Alternator Pulleys, Spohn Tubular Shock Tower Brace, Hypertech 180° Thermostat, and UMI Performance 2pt Bolt In SFCs. These will be ALL waiting for me at home when i get back in town lol, yea there is gonna be a pile. Than gotta save up and get cobalt gauges, paint job, Texas Speed 228r cam, satin black manta, black 35th anniversary wheels, and full suspension and ill be finished with modding till the turbo haha!

damn 7,000! Yea it racks up but you get a lot with it. My brother has to spend 8k to just keep up with a slightly modded LS1 lol. I might just say im replacing all the old parts so it lasts longer haha

Wow, it is amazing how patient some people are. 3500 posts, and now he is bolted. Sweet mods man, shame on you for waiting so long. J/K, enjoy the new car (it will feel like a new car at least).

????. completely unnecessary. A tune would help, but why spend the $$$. IT will run fine on the stock tune. I ran mine on the stock tune for 2 years or so. Just slap on those bolt-ons and have at it.

Cool man. I was just giving you a hard time, didn't mean to offend you . BTW, research is good. Wish i would have researched i a little more before i went H/C. Maybe i wouldn't have had to rebuild the short block

Nice, it'll feel like a new car. Finding the time/energy to put all the stuff in is going to be a bitch though
