1. Yank 4400 stall converter
2. TSP H/C
3. drag wheels w/sticky tires out back
4. home made ram air setup
5. front HAL/QA1 shocks

The best mod was the lower control arms; wheel hop went away immediately and much better traction even when its wet out.

My favorite mod was hydrolocking the LS1.......and getting a brand new LS6 installed with headers and duals, thank you Farmers Insurance!!!!!!!!

1) The cam I plan to install this week. (if that counts, pretty sure it WILL be my fav mod )
2) Exhaust. LT's and duals. LOVE the sound. (will get better with cam )
3) Converter (gotta have it for cam, car REALLY kicks now and can't argue with 1.72 60' with <320 rwhp.

HP tuners. Keeps me occupied for hours, and lets me tune for any other mods I do.

Water in the intersection waked up from a truck in front of me, I chose the engine and had TSP buy it and install it, tune it and the money saved on installation and cost from not having a delaership do it allowed the headers and duals to be included!!

Sent you a PM.

#1 3:73's-These gears make the car so much more driveable and make 6th gear useable around town.

#2 My F1 GS-D3's. These tires are incredible!!! There are so smooth and grip like glue. I only hope to get enough mileage out of them to justify a new set.

#3 Free ram air- I felt this right away. You can't go wrong for the price!!

Best mod bar none on my car so far has been my Eibach ProKit lowering springs. Difference was night and day before and after the springs. Look is fantastic, and the handling is second to none.

Although I always overlook it, I really think the Pro 5.0 is the best I've gotten so far. The difference between the stock Hurst and the Pro 5.0 is night and day.

the spec stage 4 clutch/ford 9 inch with 4.30's follows close behind.... now it can be dumped at any RPM with no fear of breaking, not to mention the gears make it feel like a whole new car.... now i know why mustang ppl always put gears in first!!!
