Hello Everybody!

Hey everyone, I've been looking around on your forum for a while now and just decided to post. Ive owned a white 2004 monte LS for 2 years now and am ready to start modding. (thank you first time homebuyers credit!!) I will be doing all these mods pretty much rapid fire as soon as i get the dough.

Phase 1 (started):
Oil change (castrol gtx high milage)
Bosch Platinum Plugs
Silverstar Headlights
4 wheel brake job + rotors

Phase 2:
Home made CAI / Ram Air intake through empty fog light housing.
Milzy Ported and Polished upper Intake Manifold
65mm throttle body from Milzy
3400 PCM from Milzy

Phase 3:
Custom made exhaust: High flow cat, u bend delete, possible resonator delete, dual conversion kit with flowmaster 40s. Ive been feeling some slipping occasionally and my car feels sapped on power, so i hope the cat will clear it up.

Phase 4: Exterior Looks and cleanliness
Autoventshade window vent visors
Professionally Installed Window tint
VHT Nite Shade on headlights,tail lights,reverse lights, and third brake light.
Full Exterior/Interior/Under Hood detail.

I will try to put up pictures, all before and after, but im sorry if i forget!

What do you guys think?

Welcome to the site.

welcome to the forum!!!!!

heyy! welcome to the forum! most def got urself a good list going there =D

I was wondering, would the money spent on the throttle body and upper intake be better spent on headers? What would get me the most hp gain?

Welcome! Sounds like you got a good list started! Cant wait to see pictures soon!

Welcome :)

I think you should modify your mod list to kill everything you have performance wise and go for a 3.8 swap ;)
