spend a good week+ reading through the stickies in the external and internal sections. then ask some more questions if you have any. as far as the skip shift goes, do a search you can bypass it with a plug and play or a resisitor. just start reading and congrats

Makes ya shift from 1st to 4th under low starting loads.
Under heavier/quicker/higher rev starts it will still allow a 1st-2nd shift tho.
Suppose to help reduce fuel consumption.
As mentioned above, buy one of the 'skip-shift-eliminators' from one of the vendors. Don't skimp & try to get by with one of the 'el-cheapo' resistors.
Read, read, read, ..., ton of info here on the site will help ya out!

It means you shift from 1st gear to 4th gear to save gas.

If you plan on having it tuned, They can get rid of the Skip shift for you, versus paying extra for an eliminator circuit.
Btw, The LS6 intake is a great option, but it won't mate up with your planned 90mm TB. Look into the F.A.S.T products.

i would look into some different exhuast also if your going to run long tubes... those headers with loudmouth exhaust are pretty loud. go with a corsa or a borla cat back. but thats just me. im running long tubes with a custom x-pipe and borla mufflers with a turn down before the axle.

chop the catback off and run an ory with a bullet dump.

If this is your first higher powered vehicle, drive this thing for a few months. Leave the ASR alone while on the road. Be sure to go really easy if the roads are wet.
Once you get used to it: lid, catback (mine has Flowmasters), and lastly, tune. This will wake it right up, and you will be happy. :hump:
Enjoy the nice ride you have!

dont spend so much on the slp catback just by the resonator get rid of the cats and muffler and 3 inch pipe the whole system and it will sound like mine
