Radar detector- $250 and Up...Escort or Valentine 1...that is the question?
Get whatever one pays your first ticket.






4. Header gaskets $50 (Thought about going with Percys, but the Felpro name seems to pop up a lot) A lot of aftermarket items are made with felpro's in mind. I picked up a set of mr gaskets intake gaskets and they were horrible it wasn't even close.

5. Spark plugs and wires(with wire sleeves/heat shields) cableorganizer.com has Insultherm fiberglass boots for $26 for 8 of them.

6. 02 extensions $50 (no idea what lengths or how many I need)
You are going to need 2 and I wouldn't go any longer than 12"
7. 02 Sensors $50 (like the extensions I have no idea what I need)
You need 2.

9. Throttle body air foil $25 (some say pointless, I say for the price, why not?) pointless use the money for a better TB.

10. throttle body bypass $30 (just heard about this mod yesterday...seems cheap and heard a few good things)
very cheap and it doesn't hurt anything.




14. Electric water pump $250 (heard good things about Mesemize or whatever brand it is...Some peeps have impressive gains too).
wire it corectly and you won't have any issues.

18. Alternator/underdrive pullies $250 (more power for not too much coin is always a +) There really is not the greatest way to spend 250, I'd put it to a quality damper before I started to put poorly built underdrive pulleys on there.

19. Ported MAF $150 (some say stay away from MAF like it was a 4 headed dragon, yet...the gains from one are appealing WHat do you think?)
You don't need to touch it unless you are making more power.

20. Mail order tune/hypertech power programmer $250 (Even though a cam is on its way...it may be on its way for a while...I think a tune is in order! Who gives the BEST mail order tunes or SHOULD I skip it and get it dyno tuned for the money)

Don't buy a scanner from anyone, get a mail order or dyno. Its the only way to go. Unless you do it yourself.

What numbers(0-60, 1/4 and rwhp) should I expect?)
280rwhp 310rwtq at the most
FULL suspension boltons...Get the power to the ground and turn some corners!

Lowering springs...I guess this is a bolton though

LT4 Knock module...Do i need one of these?
A quality tuner can make a stock one work, but they are getting harder to find so if you want one you better get it soon.



fuel pressure regulator...no idea what these are, but I want one
Aeromotive makes a few different models. Unless you are wanting to run a bottle or are making more power you won't need one right away.

Optispark...Which is best? With my luck mine will fail soon.
Stock, my msd has stranded me twice.

IN dash CD/naivigaion/dvd...cause I like watching movies, getting directions and driving...ALL at the same time!
good luck hearing anything with LT's

Better brakes- kinda a suspension bolton, but deserves its own category.
Grab a set off a LS1 its fairly cheap and they work.




Race gas- can't have any detonation now can we!
Run a tank of it up front for the bottle or heavy boost, but don't try to fill a tank with it.


Some kinda ignition setup...no idea what.
EFI connection


gauge pillar- looks so high performance and cool

gauges(boost, fuel, oil temp etc.)- good to keep track

racing pedals...why not?
Most of the ones on ebay suck, MBA had some good ones but good luck finding anything from them anymore


skip shift eliminator- cause I want to say I have one in my sig.
Definitely worth it.


Built tranny- whatever that means.
$2500+
