Yep... I think we can all agree you've pretty much reached 'full bolt-ons' status, although not the ultimate (considering ls6 to FAST swap) but none the less. I think the last two gentlemen covered all that's left.
I know dyno tune isn't a "bolt-on" but you'll need that. I blew a 98 Ram air T/A away with your mods minus a tune. I had a catback and lid. Also, you could probably get rid of the 160* thermostat. A tuner can program your fans to come on earleir anyway.
You can bolt heads on. LOL. Go for the electric water pump if money is not an issue. Some hp there to be had.

+1 on the EWP. More hp/tq by a few, but the real gain is gas mileage improvement. I am getting 34+ mpg on the Eway in 6th with cruise set at 80 mph. I'll update everyone on my gas mileage after I drive back from Texas (LG Motorsports) next week now that the final phase of my car is complete.
Last year 1200 miles in just under 35 gallons.

your 480 whp ar gets 35 mpg that must me nice. i dont see highway that much but i get 210 to a tank before my guage comes on.im calculating 15-17mpg. so i guess it would be a good investment. thanks
but with the ewp... wut is the life span on those?? Thread Starter

The electric pump is rated for 2000-3000 hours of life. If you drove one hour a day, every day, that means it should be good for 5+ years. To be on the safe side, a rebuild of the pump (something Meziere can do) may be recommended every few years just as preventative maintenance.
