Gonna get serious. Leave the air and power steering off. Get Kirkey seats and a glass hood. Fix the 20% leakage with rings, pistons, and rods. Get a bigger cam and better headers. Also need more tire.

I see that you are doing some body work. "shaved tail lights, smoothed tailgate" Do you do that yourself or do you have or know someone?

I agree. Cats make a world of difference. Or you could go true duals and get good money for that catback. You end up making money on it actually. Duals are cheap. Sweet thunders and a Dr. Gas X and you're good to go.

Sean, is that how you spell it? Ha. Get the car as high as possible. I mean high. Kooks go in the easiest so just overestimate the difficutly and you'll be suprised how easy they go in. Hell, I'll give you a hand if you need it.

winter mod........ trying to get the car tuned with the stock computer in the car (so far its not looking so good). If that don't work then I have to get the FAST system or something so they can get the damn thing tuned so i don't wreck the new motor.
