Question Performance parts?

Any word on some performance parts available. I heard something about SLP already having pulleys, intakes, and exhausts for them.

i haven't heard anything yet which bothers me - when the new Mustang came out companies already had full performance and appearance packages available for it...you could buy the parts before you could buy the actual car. Looks like as usual GM won't get any aftermarket appearance love

I'm thinking about getting the SS with the manual tranny.

I'm thinking about maybe do ported heads, cam, exhaust, headers, FAST intake and TB, gears and a tune....

What options do you already have for these mods?

You'll already have LS3 heads, so going to any other head would be going backwards, so you should just get the stockers CNC'd. That said, FAST hasn't delivered the 102mm intake yet, but it should be here soon for that, we will stock them.

The cam will just be existing LS cams, once you're ready we'd just need to discuss what you're going for and recommend a good one. They are always in stock.

Headers and exhaust -some are already here and the rest should be delivered by the time people start getting their cars. We'll mainly stock Kooks headers, but if Pacesetter and some others get them ready we will stock those as well. QTP should have some readily available for us too.

We don't stock tunes

Really, the market is as vast as already existing LS cars due to parts interchangability.

I'll be offering 300m half shafts and various drivetrain parts but you wont see me on here talking about them until I'm a sponsor and they are out hitting the drag strip.
