Torque Arm? Shifter? Pulley? SLP CAI/FRA/SSRA/FTRA? Those are all pretty in-expensive mods you could do

well, i was planning on getting a pro 5.0 and possibly lss because ive heard they make a good combo. i dont wanna mess with the clutch till i have too, its still hooking up fine. ive heard the asp pully will mess up my ac and alternator, is this true? probably not, just need to check. i know i need a shift light, should i also get a 160 t-stat? i dont wanna mess my 10 bolt up anymore than i already have, i have kumho supra exsta whatevers on now and i heard they were pretty good anyway? would a torque arm be benificial at this stage? i have true duals so a cut-out would be prett pointless.

Torque arm would be pretty useless for you, looking at your mods.

Pulley will affect your A/C and alternator, but unless you have a nice system, it won't really matter.

I think the SSRA/FRA/ ETC. would be a really good mod, too.

And of course getting a shifter is always great. If you get the pro 5.0, you might want to just cut the stick instead of buying a short stick .

Lots of people run the pulley (including myself) with no adverse effects to the A/c and alternator. Being in Miami, A/c is greatly valued.

yep. im from tampa so ac is equally important to me. no plans for a system so shifter and asp pully it is. anyhting else i should consider before the 12 bolt (actually ive read that 9'' is better for an m6, but its heavier???) and h/c combo?
