I am hoping to pay said guy to make me some SFCs too! I have cash...!
I have the full amount for DRs so those are soon as well.
My only concern is the crappy LPP True duals with that torque arm. But I'm all for a torque arm too.
I'd still like to aim that drivers side exhaust pipe up a bit too. I'm considering getting rid of the mufflers soon too. Maybe putting some straight under the axle exhaust. I think the mufflers are restrictive.

alright, i can definitely hook you up on the sfc's
for the torque arm if you just drop your car off i'm sure i'll be able to fab up a cross member to clear the TD's.
aren't the mufflers straight through? or do the bottle neck down inside? i can't quite remember. i guess it's a good thing i only tacked them on huh?

As far as the mufflers the OD is the same as the rest of the piping so they definitely choke down inside. I was thinking of cutting the tack welds next time I run to free up some colorado hp.

of course you could go full suspension. from what i've actually read about what you have, tq arm, front a-arms, and springs to name a few. then there are the little bs things like deep tranny pan and trans cooler. i can't really think of anything else, maybe just go ahead and jump on the 58mm tb if you know your going to need it later. everyone says you don't NEED it, but i don't see how it would hurt

You could buy an aluminum driveshaft to replace the steel stocker, that will make the car quicker and only costs about $150-$250 depending on the brand. Buy Tunercat and you can fine tune the PCM for more HP. Add n2o and youll pickup a second for $500 thats the "bang for the buck".

This guy knows his stuff. Lighter parts do not make your car quicker.
