I have run Strano springs for the past 2 years with Koni's. Compared to friends cars sitting on "other" springs and shocks I have yet to find a ride I like better than my set up. Not to mention Sam is a great guy to deal with. Just my $.02

When I was 18 (9 years ago) I got my first project vehicle, I didnt know how to change an alternater at the time. Since then I've built 5 engines, done countless transmission swaps, lift kits, so much more, and now lucky enough to have a 600hp T/A. You're just getting started and doing pretty good to jump into a project as big as pulling an enigine out of a 4th gen! Good luck with everything else you do to the car!

I really want to paint it black, but I do not know how to mix paint with a gun or spray.. etc. And I don't want to pay to get it painted

Been a while, taxes, and tickets. But it's time to make some more HP!
Sent out my computer for a tune two days ago to Steve Frost, should be seeing it in about a week, can't wait for that!
Plan on ordering the Chris1313 air intake to go along with the tune next wednesday, after that I want to get a ported throttle body, or should I get a different one?
Doing the Ceta mod, want to dynamat the whole car, and throw in my 2 10's I have in the next two weeks. Anything else I should consider?
Thanks guys!

Great job for someone who's only 19. The only thing I noticed is your antenna seems to be broken.

I got mine replaced at my Chevy dealer. I paid $240 parts and labor but since you appear to be more mechanically inclined than I am I'm sure you could put it in yourself.
