Finally got LT's, ORY, and an LS6 intake, install now or middle of summer? I traded my rims to (01blackbeast) on here, for some Pacesetter LT's, ORY and a LS6 intake.
Since the Camaro is in storage right now and it won't be out until the beginning of may, should I take it out a few weeks early and get all of this on before summer?
OR
Should I wait until I get bored of the power and put it on during the summer?
I am pretty excited! The mods are starting to go up!!!
I now have....
P&P TB
LS6 intake
LT's
ORY
SLP Lid (smooth bellow/ K&N filter/ Free mod)
I am still up in the air about doing a catback and e cutout or going td's. Currently I have everything stock dumped before the rear axle (no muffler, cats only)
Any suggestions/ comments would be great!
Thanks!!!

i'd go ahead and do it now and have it ready by summer, but that's here in tx lol... your summer is prob how it is here right now (mid to upper 60s)... i absolutely hate working on my car in cold weather but if it doesn't bother you i'd go for it... i would suggest tackling the motor mounts also since you will be doing longtubes... poly inserts or solids will do fine, whichever you prefer

yeah, seeing as you live in michigan I would wait untill summer. If you lived in Kalifornia, Id say do it now so you have the beast ready to cruise in the summer time.

DO IT NOW. I feel your cold weather pain being from Boston myself. The only good thing about northern winters is buying parts and putting them on. Put it all together now so when you bring it out in a month or two you can get a tune and have the car right away. Take advantage of the down time the car has now, you'll regret it if you don't. Warm weather up here is precious, do you really want your car sitting around in the middle of summer when you could be out cruising/racing?

I have to side with the cold people... wait until you can enjoy not only driving your car, but working on it too. It can be incredibly frustrating trying to work on your car when you can't feel your hands and feet.
Now, you might be able to get your work done if you have a garage and some space heaters. If you're doing this in your driveway though, I'd stay inside where it's warm.

Thanks everyone! I just have to get gaskets, block off plates, motor mounts, and plugs & wires, possibly some new header bolts from the dealer (stockers), o2 extensions.
Anything else?
It was 50 and sunny here today
My buddy has an oil pit, would that be better than the drive way?
