Default Hello From NC

I've been reading the threads on this site for a while now and finally decided to join. I just bought a 2001 Trans Am WS6 about 2 months ago. I have a laundry list of mods I want to do for it, and a $12,000 budget. So any input would be appreciated as this is my first LS1. The car came with a complete nitrous system, computer and all but I don't know enough about it yet to install it or use it. Other than that it's stock minus the stereo equipment (about $7000 install)

Navigation System
2 JL Audio 12" Woofers

MTI Clear Airlid
High Output Fuel Pump
Ignition System
Iridium Plugs
140 Amp Alternator
Skip Shift Eliminator
Spec Stage 2 Clutch W/ Drill Mod
Spec Steel Flywheel
Aluminum Driveshaft

I'm in fayetteville. I hate bragg/fayetteville area. But there are a lot of nice places in NC. I don't keep my car here. Its staying in PA until my enlistment is up. People can't drive for **** here and I would be tempted to kill someone if they hit me. And thanks for the tip on the headers, I just threw it on the list.
