Upgrades and Plans Alright. I have a DD 1999 WS6 M6 with a spun bearing at 89Kmiles
My upgrades planned for next week:
LS1 Crate Engine
LS6 Intake
Ported LS1 TB
Kooks 1 7/8 LTs
Kooks ORY
SLP LMII
Polyurethane Motor Mounts
MSD Wires
Monster Stage 3 Clutch Kit
New Spark Plugs
AIR/ERG Delete
28lbs Fuel injectors
Tuned
My upgrades to follow:
SLP Lid
Fernco Bellows
Amsoil Air Filter
Pro 5.0 w/ Luo's Short Stick
UMI SFC Weld-In 2pt
Tick Master Cylinder
---------------------------------
Monster Stage 3 Clutch- Ok for daily driving? and should i get the 18lb or 28lb flywheel (both billet steel)? How will each effect everyday driving?
What sprak plugs should i go with?
My '99 has the 26lb fuel injectors. Will it help to upgrade to the 28lbs with half as many miles?
Are Fernco Bellows and Amsoil Air Filter worth it?
Are there any other mods you suggest?

1) I've heard great things about the Monster Stage 3, even for DD use. If you want an even more friendly DD clutch, I've also heard great things about the Stage 2....I guess they redesigned it for greater durability and it holds up to 550 rwtq. I don't think you'll go wrong with either.
2) NGK TR55's
3) I don't know about this one.
4) I wouldn't bother with a bellows or aftermarket air filter. They don't really show any gains on this car, and at most might add 1-2 hp....save your money IMO.
List looks good, seems like you did your research. The only things I would say is you might want to listen to clips if you haven't on the LMII with LT's and an ORY....might be a bit too loud for a DD, but to each their own. Check out ls1sounds.com if you haven't already, and like I said, everybody has different tastes. Also, take a look into the MGW shifter, not saying the Pro 5.0 isn't good by any means, but just another option (been very happy with mine).
Also, if you haven't done any suspension, I would definitely look into a good set of shocks for a DD....like Koni SA's or SLP Bilsteins. They really make the car feel more stable and amp up the handling as well....while remaining comfortable when used with stock or good lowering springs.

yeah i have been looking at stranos/koni 4/4s
and loud is how i want it (smartass teen here) :haha:
but good points on the others.
as for lid...im doing that as a more appearence mod mostly....
bellows i figured would help unchoke a little and since its cheap and easy i figured ehh every little bit helps
as for plugs ive hear NGK
