How much should he set aside for tickets?! lol I'm just joking. Your 3800 is going to be awesome after you spend that kind of cash on it. Good luck!

 

Oh and BTW, if you're planing on doing all that to your car get a Tuner like HP Tuner that will allow you to, after learning how to use it, tune the vehicle to the mods made to the car. It's not absolutely necessary, I may add, but one heck of a good idea. If you know anyone with a tuner then you're golden too, but it's always good to own one IMO!

 

So I emailed both zzp and 3800performance. Zzp replied almost immediately and kept a convo going. 3800 didn't really say anything. This is the setup zzp came up with. Whatchu think?

wow that sounds like its going to be one bad a$$ monte. Ask them if they'll sponser the rest of there store for you. lol its worth a try if you get all that.

 

Wow I didn't even think of that...definitely worth asking. I'm so excited to get all this done. So many options and forums like this make it better. The support here is awesome

 

Get all of the engine work done with ZZP and get a triple edge performance transmission.

 

Enzo...that's exactly what I was thinking. With all that done imma be one happy driver ha. I've always wanted to get into this kinda stuff with previous cars but never had the money. But the 3800 seems like a great place to start. So as far a suspension...Lyn adjustables and eibachs? Good? Rear and front sway bar...after that it's all good right? And brakes haha...

 

I meant "kyb" not "Lyn"...damn iPhone predictive text

 

Haha and yea the 3800 is a great engine. For suspension thats a great setup, ive heard good things about ssc https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_...=454&catid=138 they have a great anti sag warranty, which some eibachs have been known to do, they even made on person a custom set because of the sag with subs haha.
Also if you dont have strut tower braces you should get those, they help.

 

You better remember those tires!!!!
