Blame the internet. Request for a permanent ban on LS1Tech and cancel your internet services. The mod addiction will be cured.

Haha I was completely happy with my stock 98 z28 when I bought it in 2002 with an slp LM catback on it. Then a couple of years later I found this website...and lord almighty I must have spent 2 grand on headers, ory, pro 5.0 and new clutch within a month! I "convinced" myself that I had to sell my camaro because I was buying a house due to the fact that I knew if I kept it I would probably have spent thousands more on additional mods! I figured though hey im 25 I can buy another one down the road but man do I miss my camaro!

I found this site a couple of months ago, I have spent more on the car in the last 3 months than I have the entire 6 years I've had the car! I started by painting my throttle body, and "while I was in there" ....... New long tubes, true duals, injectors, manifold, ignition, plugs & wires, repainting entire engine bay, coil covers, battery & fuse box covers, wire looms.....The wife will kill me when the CC bill comes.

My addiction made me sore today. I installed J&M products lower control arms/panhard. What a PITA the bushings would not compress enough and the silly ball inside was a bitch also. Good quality but man o man.......
