Default Just bought my first round of mods!

So I'm getting my 2002 Trans Am tomorrow...I've already started ordering parts for it.

So far I've ordered a SLP Lid, Short stick, and CAGS eliminator from WS6 Store.

Can't wait to get these things on.

Yeah. Ported TB, Bumpstop mod, TB coolant bypass, Pacesetter LTs, TSP ORY, and Hooker Catback will be next on the list. Along with turning off rear o2's & Air and trashing the Air system.

By running a Off road pipe...it kind of gets rid of the rear o2's by default.

Will need to pick up some simulators.

Congrats on the aquisition!!

I'm just going to have them turned off with LS1edit or something similar..that way i dont need to run Sims. And i'm gonna go ahead and have the Air turned off since i'll be ditching that aswell.

That's a nice start! As for the CAGS, it is terribly annoying to me, however the thought of a $15 plug in solving the problem doesn't seem like such a bad idea considering that it saved us a good $500+ on the gas guzzler tax!

thanks guys.

i got the car, and it already had a B&M short shifter in it. I put on the SLP lid with the free Ram Air mods, and the CAGS eliminator. it made quite a difference

LTs, ORY, and Catback are next on the list.

Sounds like you are almost ready for a cam and some suspension work. You have a good plan in line just follow it on through. I normally say that i'm gonna keep this close to stock...just a good driver. Who am I kidding. I've been told that cars can be addictive. NAH, no way

B&M ripper is a 1 peice shifter(from everything I have seen/read) and therefore you cannot replace it with a short stick like you said in your original post
