Question Want opinions on bolt-on/quick/easy mods

What's up everyone? Currently my car is up in the air so I have easy access to the engine and whatnot. I am in the process of installing new plugs wires b/c I have been burning through them b/c of my LT headers. I am going to be re-routing them above the valve covers.

I just want to get some opinions on some other mods that I could do while I have easy access to the engine (I plan to in the future bore the motor to a 383 and force induct it). I need to replace my waterpump also, so that'll be a project.

Currenlty I have TPIS Long-tubes, Taylor 8mm wires, +4 plugs, G2 cold-air induction, air-foil, Borla, off-road y-pipe, transgo shift kit, and a lot of BMR suspension products.

What do you guys think I should do next? I'd like to get an MSD 6AL. Please let me know. You can check out pics of my car at the link below.

Re: Want opinions on bolt-on/quick/easy mods

From what I've been reading about electric water pumps, they don't seem to be worth it unless you have a mostly track car. The CSR ones are rated at 5000 hours worth of operation time. To tell you the truth, right now I am kind of on the fence about the electric water pumps... Anybody want to push me over either way?

Re: Want opinions on bolt-on/quick/easy mods

Well, a low temp thermostat, tb bypass, a mail order tune from Madz28 or PCMFORLESS, lower control arms, relocation brackets, panhard rod, ect. all quickly come to mind.

rough prices

thermostat 20.00
custom tune 100.00-150.00
lcas 95.00-115.00
panhard rod 95.00-125.00
relocation brackets-65.00
throttle body bypass - free

Look at it this way... How many hours a day do you drive your car? Lets say 25 (right...) hours per week 5000/25=200. 200 weeks is 4 years. If you put 25k miles each of those years, you'd get 100k miles from your electirc waterpump.
