Default The hell is next...?

Just put on my LTs and TDs... now I've got what's in my sig. What's next? I was gonna hold off on a tune until I pick up an LS6 intake, but I'm more interested in getting some suspension components thrown on this. Or better wheels with some tires... Suggestions?

If you're looking for appearance, throw some new rims on. I'm about to repaint my car with black stripes and throws some black TT2's on it.

Since you're a formula, maybe buy a WS6 or Raptor hood. IMO it makes the car look mean as ****. You'll probably get some comments though, I get them all the time with people that think my car is a V6, but it makes the car look sweet none the less.

are you having traction problems with the power your making now?
is your trans or clutch or rear starting to go?
you want more power?
or a better suspension?

Traction problems, not yet. Trans I don't believe is going, doesn't grind, pop out, etc. Clutch is almost brand new replaced (saving here and there for when it does go, probably do an LS7). I don't want more power at the moment, I'd rather do a nice suspension.

As for the fikse rims... not a chance, I've got a ways to go before I am financially stable to dump thousands on rims
