I'm stuck...

so i have all the mods listed in the sig, with my headers and 160º tstat coming in the mail and will be installed soon after. then after that i'm getting the mail order tune. but after/before the tune, is there anything else i should be looking at for easy bolt ons? i hear the rr's or whatevere, and gears...are they hard to install? i dont really feel like getting into the motor with that or the cam or anything right now while i'm still a beginner. so i think i'm gonna stay with what i have for now and a tune, unless theres another easy bolt on i'm missing. thanks!


just remembered about the pullies as well, but i heard they aren't that great for a power gain? and something about the voltage on an automatic?

Pullies are a waste of money in my opinion. As for the rockers and gears, those would be a couple of good choices for your next round of mods. There is plenty of literature that can help you in doing a successful roller rocker and valve spring install. As for the gears, I would leave it to a professional to setup and install.

GEARS are one of the best mods you can do to a stock or bolt on car IMO
as for setting them up properly
you need a couple special tools (dial indicator and a stand) but other than that its really not that bad
when i did mine everyone was saying let a pro do it and i didnt have the money so i went for it myself did some searching online i found this
