Default give me your thoughts on this stuff

ok well look below for current mods and then i plan on doing these, let me know what you all think about it:

hooker lone tubes with off road y pipe, ngk tr55 plugs, msd 8.5 mm wires, ls6 intake w/ egr mod, ported tb, 3.73 gear, ta girdle kit, preditor edit sys, 180 deg stat, clutch and flywheel package (dont know which one, help me out here too), torque arm from bmr, 21 mm rear sway bar...

i think thats it, let me know if this sounds good or anything you might change. also with all these mods what kind of rwhp am i looking at belting out? also, any other mods i should look at?

also i hear a knocking noise from the right rear and the guy who had the car before me hit a pot hole and i was thinking it might be the shock. i have hearf other people with the same problem and this fixed it. should i get this done under warrany or just not worry about it and upgrade to some bilstein shocks down the road? thanks for the help in advance

Sounds pretty good.
I'd probably go with 4.10's in a 12 bolt instead of the 3.73's and girdle, you're better off in the long run (4.10's are fun too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ). I might go with the Random Tech torque arm too if I was gonna autocross, Sam Strano swears by it.

I'd just get the shock replaced under warranty. It'll at least hold you off in case you want to spend the money on other mods. Besides, if it isn't the shock, they'll be able to tell and fix it anyway. And it gives you a good set of takeoffs to sell <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> .
