you might want to get some Razzi style ground effects that would give a tougher stance

I plan on getting razzi style ground RX later on I’m on a tight budget rite now after all the work I done. To my wife’s 03 gmc z71 ext can we just ordered a 6 inch lift for it and 33 12.50 17 for it last month her lift cost me 1300 alone so between her lift kit and taking care of the family I don’t have much to spend on it write now
But here’s a list of everything I plan on doing to the SS
Razzi ground effects
2.5 inch exhaust
1.5 inch lowering springs
Magnaflow mufflers
3800 performance turbo kit
3800 performance thrasher transmission
Forged pistons
H-beam rods
Port and polish heads
Custom tune
04 intimidator rims custom painted in copper
Balance and blue print the motor
There’s more I want to do but that’s the stuff that I could thank of off the top of my head and it’s gonna take awhile to do It all but in March I’ll have about 5 grand to spend on her all at once right now I’m just doing the small little things to make her unique and look good hopefully by next summer she will be finished

LOL.. If youre already planning things like this, youll NEVER be finished.. Trust me, theres just always something more youll want.. This needs a little upgrade, that needs this, this needs that.. It turns into a drug that you just cant get high enough on anymore..

Absolutely beautiful! Looks pretty sic, I like your train of thought, really classy appearance your Monte emanates a rich quality feel. Great job, great composition.
I looked over your list of mods and while it is a good one you can learn from my mistakes. I had my bottom end built out to the tune of a few $K all for naught. Many members here can attest to the stout OEM bottom and say we do not need the billet rods, forged pistons etc. TurboMonte is making crazy power and has been for sometime. He out of all the miles on the various builds is still using his OEM internals down low. I did all the Cryo-treating, coatings, billet this and that and while nothing hs broken on my build, it was money I ultimately could have used elsewhere for the cars build.
Appreciate the comments about my Montes videos, sound etc. I have tried so hard to make it a contender with power / appearance. Nice to get recognition, your awesome, thank so very much!
Will be watching your progression, keep your Monte moving up the ladder...

Thanks zippy
I wanted my Monte to stand out from The other Monte Carlo SS around here .
I put a lot of time just in the wheels I’ll post a pic of what it looked like when I got it she’s far from where I want her to be .
But hopefully by next summer she will be close to where I want her the wife gave me her approval to turbo it at tax time so till then I’m gonna focus on getting the new motor built since mine has 250000 on it I have the replace either the fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator now I only have 39psi of fuel pressure at a idle rite now when I should have 55 I unhooked the vacuum line from the regulator and it ran a lot better so I’m gonna replace the regulator first and see if that’s the problem.
And as far as your car I was raised to pay accomplments where there due and u sir have definitely earned it I can only wish that my Monte is as nice as yours one day I know I’ll never make the kind of power that you do .
Your Monte was the first turbo SS i had seen and it’s what gave me the inspiration to build mine I’ve always loved the 6th gen it just didn’t have enough power in stock forum for me but it will
Thanks for all the compliments
