Well i just got my K&N CIA kit last week(after about 2 weeks of gettin screwed around by incompetant people) so i just got it on.
next plans include, U bend delete, Cat back. I would also like to do the supporting mods for the 3.4 pulley and if funds are sufficent a pulley and a tune and then she should run pretty good... I guess window tint should be in there too because its comming soon.

Hey, never said turbo 5.3's. Nor did I say Blown Mustangs. Those with larger engines, larger blowers, and larger pocketbooks, DESERVE to go faster than me. I was simply put on this earth to eliminate those that don't have enough dedication to make their car go faster than 13's. =)

Oh, and um, with my twin charge coming out, I'll STILL be overpowering even turbo 5.3's

I am really hoping to get body work and paint done this summer... or at the very least get new floor pans put in, but that'll probably be pushed back another year... again. While it may not be a summer project, On May 3rd, I am getting my new Pypes Performance dual 2.5-inch Tru-X system with Street Pro mufflers installed along with shorty Dynomax headers, 2.5-inch downpipes and dual 2.5-inch Magnaflow cats. And as soon as I get my federal kicker check, I am going to be buying some new tires... Grand Prix 245/60-15 Performance GTs to be exact.

Tires should be on this upcoming Saturday...

Top of the list, should get done:
Pull door panels apart and carpet or suede certain sections along with other places around
Replace door and rear deck speakers
Painted tails
Silver/Black seat covers
Fix my damn LEDs
Buy new LEDs for interior lighting
Eibach lowering springs and strut bars

Top of the list, hope to get done if money permits:
Alpine W505 headunit install
Black bodykit, probably Razzi with something else done to the skirts

As for new wheels I have yet to see a set other than the KMC Nova's (if only they were 18's instead of 20's) that I want so when I get these TripleTreads I'll probably be stuck with the 17s until these tires wear out their 80k warranty

What kind of twin setup are you going with? How much power are you looking to make?

Lots of lights: underglow, LEDs under dash, redoing all the switches with new leds, going to try making angel eyes, either tinting the tail lights or buying those LED ones.
New mufflers + tips
New rims + tires
New brakes
Pace Car spoiler

Driving my Monte Carlos & waving at the young chicks. [sm=icon_cheers.gif] [sm=smiley20.gif]

It'd be nice to get a new paint job on the '86 LS. But........ I just have to own myvery own fleet of Classic cars don't I?

My family tried to talk me out of it, but..... NO..... I wouldn't listen.
