What does the guy want for it out of curiosity? How big is a blower is that? I doubt I would pick it up unless I got it for dirt cheap.

Flood, you have 3.23's, unless you're planning on racing i think you should keep those and not worry about steeping up to 3.73's....my car hauls *** with 3.23's.....you should come to MCE next weekend and you can ride in my car and see what kind of difference a stall makes.....

this will put you right around $610......Plus install should still leave you some extra cash left over....

if you get headers you're still going to have to get a Y/X-pipe and cat-back to go with it...exhuast is not cheap......the cheapest i found to build a whole exhuast was about $600 and that's doing alll the work yourself.....trust me...this was the route i went initially...

not saying you shouldn't do exhuast....lid and header back exhuast really wakes these cars up...especially with a LS6 intake....but if you're not planning on going crazy on mods i would get a stall......

He ain't got to get a cat back. If pontiac used the stainless steel muffler (dual/dual) then going to a catback would be more for sound. Tsp y cost $110 and has a merge. Come to think of it, I have a dual dual muffler in storage he could have if he is willing to wait.

yeah, i really like the RS kit...in fact i had at one point considered doing it myself...but decided against it...it's just added weight....lol...plus it does have a bit of a "ricey" appearance....i do plan on getting the RS spoiler though....

this is almost exactly the look i was going for aside from the stripe but i like that so i might do that too:

I would think auburn has to have a meeting spot. Closer and would be a change of scenery for you guys. I have seen a couple cars gathered in Lagrange also, over by the old chik-fil-a/staples.

Mike, you gonna daily drive your car when done? If so you might want to consider the umi road race k-member. It doesn't expose the bottom of the motor as much and has extra bracing.

Went to Auburn yesterday with James and let me say the scene there is much better than Columbus. College kids that want to run, and people that don't know us. But Once a month I would totally be up for a trip to Atlanta. The kids are taking over sonic acting reckless, and they just don't make enough to keep up with modding like we can. I wouldn't mind attending the Varsity meet the first Thursday of the month even though its mostly imports. I watched the video for the last one and there were tons of terminators up there.
