Default New LS1 Owner

Hi, been stalking the forum for the past few weeks.
I had been driving a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible that I had since I was 16, and a 2007 Kawasaki Meanstreak motorcycle. My motorcycle was totaled last November while avoiding a truck that ran a red light, and then my car decided that it had lived long enough and stopped running January of this year.

Took my father and I 2 months of searching, but I finally found a new car I liked and could afford with the money from my motorcycle, so I picked up a '99 Firebird T/A WS6, with 44k miles on it, at the beginning of the month and am enjoying the wealth of information on LS1Tech.com

Not sure at the moment, mainly doing lots of reading. To start off with I was going to change to switchback DRLs and LMC light housings with HIDs for the lows and fogs. I would have loved to go with the BLS projector kit for the lights, but I missed the group buy, and they are currently out of my price range. I'd rather spend a little less on the lights, and put the extra money into performance.

Trying to decide on what I want to do with the air intake, if I just want to upgrade the lid for now, or spend some more money and go CAI right away.

But I will continue to read and research before I pull the trigger.
