Where are you stationed at? If your at Fort Campbell, I can link you up with a guy who will tune your car for like 125-150.....He tuned mine......for like 135...

If you are getting a WS6, go with power and all that ****, forget the big blingy rims....They only add weight.
If I was you I would go this route first:

Header's......PaceSetter's start for 380ish....
Cat Back or go True Duals
LID
LS6 Intake

Those are the first things I would play with.....I love the way my car sounds and how much faster it rev's......

I voted Go but when I thought about it I guess I went more show. Here is my order of mods. I did !CAGS, SLP CAI, Lid, TB bypass, Dual/Dual Exhaust, Shifter, Catch can, Paint repair (had quarter repainted due to big nasty scratch), STB, Wheels, Emblems, Brakes, Drilled and slotted rotors, GMMG, Whistler, and Clear corners.

Next for me will be Long Tubes, High flow catted Y pipe and a different hood but that will wait until next year. Maybe if I hit the lottery I will get a turbo or SC too.

Which is a good thing! Mine does too.

ya I know, but you cant have a car thats all show no go, then you might as well drive a nicely done V6 fbody, and what a waste that would be.

It does need to look good, but I voted GO. Always better to lead than to follow.

Not sure if you were joking or not but if not my guess is you don't spend much time in the wheel or appearance section. Lot's of folks here are into how good their cars look. I don't spend much time in the racers lounge so i guess I could say "no racing going on here"

It's cool though to each his own.

You definitely want it to go. It's already been said, but a WS6 already looks good...so put the money where it really matters.

You can go a little higher on the Stall but if your tires Hook I'd be worried about the 10 Bolt breaking.

The owner before me put the "show" into my car for me: WS6 wheels from a 2000+ WS6, Lowered it, and tinted the windows. Thats more than enough for me since im not into being too flashy. It also let me work on the "go" more than the show, Supermaxx LTs coming once i get promoted @ work, as well as an LS6 intake.
