WELCOME!!!

I always would have to say get some su-frame connectors first. It will spare your cars body from flexing and causing some wrinkles on the rear quarter panels.

For $700, or whats left over if you get SFC's, you could get a used LS6 intake and an underdrive pulley. You could also pick up a used set of LT headers, or save up for some new ones.





Peace,
Craig.

like crager said, get some SFC and then spend the rest of the mods on some more suspension upgrades. sometimes making your car fast doesnt involve touching the engine
