Congratulations! Price is a little steep, hopefully it's in really good shape and you found a 6spd that's always a plus. Time for some mods now :)

yeah its in excellent condition the paint is flawless and the intrior is like new, it is a 6 speed. im planning on geting a set of long tubes first for mods, i allredy have the slp loudmouth. what headers do yall recomend? i looked at the slp headers but they run 1400$! that seems steep

Yeah they run for $1400 AND they have horrible clearance, there's a deal right now http://speed-eng.com/store/pacesetter-long-tube-ls1-headers-non-coated-0002-airegr-p-3067.html pacesetter LT's for $274.00, those are best bang for the buck headers, they work pretty good.

Just remember that those Pacesetter LT's aren't ceramic coated, you can either buy their coated headers (i think an extra $100) or you can coat them yourself. I'm in the process of doing heads and cam as we speak, i went with this package from texas speed http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=203&catid=15 with the gasket kit and head bolts it costed me 1800 shipped. The package also comes with a cam, i went with the torquer V.2 232/234 which will be just perfect for the street.
