opinions on mods

what do u guy think about my future mods...i would like opinions not critcism..thanks ppl
i bought the car in may of 2003 and this is a few mods i wan tto do and probably the only mods lol
-SLP "Loud Mouth" exhaust (already have)
-SLP shortie headers (SLP doesnt make longtubed for LT1)
-160 degree thermostat
-SLP Crankshaft and Alternator Pullys
-SLP Subframe Connectors (Bolt On)
-Hugger orange strut tower brace
-lightweight Driveshaft
-52mm Throttle Body

When they say NOT FOR POLLUTION CONTROLLED VEHICLE as in the 160 thermostat does that mean when i go for NYS inpection i might fail??????

"SLP shortie headers"

Skip the SLP shorties grap some Hookers LT's or MAC's
SLP's are over priced and over rated.


"lightweight Driveshaft"

Save the drive shaft. Unless your going to do a 4:10 Gear swap that is if your running an M6...or 3:73's if your running a Auto.
Other wise it be a waste of money.

"52mm Throttle Body"

Not really needed at this point. Save your cash and invest it on those LT's.

Some other things you might want to do or check in on are.

MSD Ignition kit "works wonders"
8mm Plug wires
TB Bypass "3 dollar mod"
Set of Gears like 4:10's or 3:73's

These are good started mods.

BTW I noticed on your page you have a performance audio system. You really don't want to do the pulley swap if your running a high watage system.
