Welcome to the board..

The good news is that every one of your questions has an answer somewhere on this site.

The bad news is that you'd have to do a search in the respective forums.

I agree I would do a search for what you are looking for in the forum. I was able to find pretty much everything I wanted to know. That is why my post count is so low.

As far as shops, I have searched and haven't found anyone around Milwaukee or Madison, Chicago is a different story if you don't mind drving down there.

Most of the installation for the bolt-ons is easy if you are even a little mechanically inclined and have the tools, there are also many how to threads for the installation of almost anything you want, if not on this board it is probably on another you would just need to search.

Also you can see if there are any local forum members to you that have done any of the modifications thet you are looking to do and see if they would like to help.

I'm always up to helping someone out. Just wish I had a garage here like I did in GA.

Thank you JOSHUA and Rickyh93. I'm looking to purchase (L.T.) headers and then a tune, since my A/F Ratio will have changed from the O.E set up. Any suggestions on brands or places to go? Once again, Thank you for your help!
