dont get SFCs until u get some more serious mods like a cam/ heads / n20 or something. also if your hard top ur good off the SFCs for a while. but yeah i have a raptor shift light and new it was like 100.. and a ls6 intake used will cost more then 200$ unless u find the HOOOOOOK UP. take my advice and ask for a short stick from UMI. youll be happy and its like 20 bucks or something. t r u s t me plz

Why should he wait on the SFCs? They are supposed to be one of the first 5 mods done to these cars.

Ya, the SFC are a commonly recommended first. Think of it like this, there are two attitudes to take towards modding. My examples are, 1) should I upgrade my brake system ie. rotors, calipers, pads, etc and be "slower" longer or 2) get some n2o and a cam while sacraficing the saftey and peice of mind that it'll be safe. I'de say whatever combination you choose, shoot to include the SFC. Otherwise youll be kicking yourself in the head down the road when your door jambs pinch and your car pulls to the left/right like a mother...good luck!

Don't get lowering springs!!! I scrape my pacesetter LTs all the time. I'm going back to stock ride height for Christmas in fact, QA1 style though.

They use all the LS6 intakes they get on the engines they sell/build.

i didnt add SFCs until after i had my cam + bolt ons.. if ur seriously into racing and launching then yeah get SFCs now.. but i personally think u dont need them ASAP. a raptor Shift light, ported TB and short stick would be a good start!
