Here is a list

1) Poly Motor Mounts
2) 02 Extensions
3) GM Copper Gaskets
4) Stage 8 Locking Header Bolts
5) NGK TR55 Plugs
6) MSD Wires
Very similar to my next to do list. Might as well do the motormounts now.

Hey, you're our neighbor just down the road! You could swing up to Lubbock and get everything you need here! We stock the Pacesetters, y-pipes, bolts, gaskets, extensions, mounts, and anything else you could ever want and need so you wouldn't have to wait for your products to ship! We also have a chassis dyno if you want to get an idea of where your car stands power wise, and we tuning as well to take care of you in that area.

We've got the headers on special currently here and the headers/Y-pipes combo on special here.

Let me know if I can help in any way!

Werd.

I have to change a few things because I took this car to the track Friday and she is slow as a dog. I am looking at a tune issue(the motor was replaced with a stock one and the tune is stock) and plug/wire's while I do the headers anyway. Plus I gutted one converter being it has failed and haven't had a chance to do the other. I am sure that's not helping either.
