Nice! My list is far smaller ... K&N cone filter, Thrush welded mufflers, ZZP shift kit, HP Tuners. In the next few months it'll get a ported LS2 intake, some WBO2 tuning, tires, and maybe a downpipe.
The optima redtop sits perfectly under the wood panel where the "spare tire" goes so no loss of truck space plus i don't see how it helps noticeably with traction imo
The factory tire inflator even fits perfectly as well minus the foam bullshit around it. All perfectly under the wood I'll take some more updated pics if u need battery box is from wal-mart

Do you happen to have any pics of you fwi setup? Or another thread that shows anything about it?
Haven't installed much this year but I have a gxp brake setup in the garage and a non intercooled cartuning kit sitting in the closet.

I have a 4' setup filter sits high up in the fender to keep from water ingestion in heavy rain especially because I made new DRL/turn signals so that hole is now open. I used roof flashing and half of a bucket to house the 7' long filter so it acts like a box but doesn't suck in ANY hot air from the engine bay.

I love the overall stifness and responsivness however that relationship works both ways..really shitty roads can cause vibrations that make your *** pucker. but Its definatley a worthwile upgrade.
