don't have her just yet...i'm still looking it's been the biggest pita in the world...it's taken like 8 months and still no car (i think im finally getting close..have quite a few of my dad's dealer friends looking)...i'm stuck driving my camaro...i'm not going to mod it so...i'm just waiting..as long as i can get 1.9-2.0 60's on the 10-bolt i'll be fine...i might be able to pull that off with some good street tires...i'f im lucky...we shall see...just wanting to run mid-low 12's with full exhaust and intake...then after awhile i'll step it up quite a bit with heads/cam/12-bolt/spec 3...

SSRA = super sucker ram air
FTRA = fast toys ram air

Basically better versions (IMO) of SLP's cold air induction kit. As far as modding the car, I started off thinking in the opposite way. I was already to splurge on a heads/cam package, until Fernando (Dear John) thankfully talked me into doing all my bolt-ons and exhaust first. So far I have the SLP cold air, lid, LS6 intake, and am in the process of re-doing my exhaust with MAC mid-length headers, and 2.5" true duals. After that, I'm camming my car (TR230) and getting a TCI SF3000 converter, with a little weight reduction. With a good launch, I might hit high 11's. Good luck.

I highly recommend stepping up to the TCI SSF3500, or the 3800. After you drive the car a little bit you'll want more than a 3000, trust me.

Funny you mention that, as I am kind of torn between the SF3000 and SSF3500. What would the SSF3500 actually stall at? Presuming that I drive somewhat conservatively, what would my gas mileage look like with it?
