Let the mods begin (STS kit ordered)!

Well, it took me over 48 hours to order my STS turbo after I picked the car up. I got it on Saturday so I guess I can use that as an excuse.

An intercooled kit with the GT-67 turbo will be on the way here in a few days. I plan on running about 6-7psi for now. I haven't decided on the tuning. I'll either be doing something with STS or will see Slowhawk so he can work his magic. We all know what his programming can do

You should hear the blue GTO idle, sounds so tame, it's cool.

I think I have most of the mod's list complete now.

Intercooled STS turbo
42# injectors
Kenny Brown Boost-a-pump
SLP 1.85 rockers with springs, titanium retainers and keepers
SLP ported throttlebody
Meziere electric water pump
SLP underdrive pulley
Custom programming by Slowhawk

SPEC Stage 3 clutch with steel flywheel
Ripshift

BMR strut tower brace
BMR skid plate
BMR subframe connectors
BMR driveshaft loop
SLP swaybar
SLP swaybar bushings
SLP swaybar endlink bushings
SLP roll control

Autometer gauges
AP dual console mounted gauge pod (sweet product - we'll be carrying these soon)

2005 GTO hood
Possibly an Arrowhead Performance body kit
Wheels - undecided on the brand and size. 18s will probably find their way on here
HID lighting

Baer GT+ brakes with red calipers for the front and rear. I'm not sure if I'll be using the 13 or 14" rotors. That will depend on what is run for race wheels (autocross and drag)

There will probably be some other mods added to this listed because they are wanted now or needed later. The clutch, rockers arms, throttlebody, water pump and pulley are already installed and the STS kit should be here in a few days. The hood should be arrive from the other side of the world in about 4 weeks.
