Default 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?

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

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