Going crazy! Headers, cam, springs, ported TB, a real exhaust setup, and I'm trying to work out a deal on an LS6 intake. Hook Greene up with those pushrods, I need em!! Also thinking about stripes after I get these rock chips touched up.

cost ,,, you wanna talk costs...........
well where do i start,, after M8 their was a mad dash to pick up a jelly preped 000ci block< lightened 00lbs, billet in all 0 positions, bored to 0.000 just needs to be finished honed, bushed lifter bores, then there is the billet rods( i wont go there) and then i found out the heads had 3 bent exhaust valves and 2 int. with a craked giude also, after ordering a new crank (callies)with a 0.000 stroke < catching on yet > (psst 000ci), and now i am waiting for custom pistons from diamond (00.0 - 00.0 compression) something like that, and a new solid roller cam with new lifters. oh and there is the new hal rear shocks and rear springs, bmr relocating brackets,a new motor plate, an assortment of weather proof connectors with crimper, a new trans pan for more fluid capacity, and i am still thinking about a set of custom headers with the new collector mufflers from dynatech, then i am thinking of selling my 9", anyone,anyone?? and starting over with light weight components and larger axles, then i need to reposition the torque arm, after M8 i bent it at the adjusting sleeve, put the battery out back, i also have to strip out the engine bay and prep for paint, i also am buying a new set of rear pro stars with new slicks, also new front speed rated tires. so as you can see costs are a part of my life,,, anyone need a rear end regeared, rebuilt, anything????
p.s. just to not **** anyone off left some #'s out, i know i am not street racing anymore, but i can't tell you all of m secrets...

Mostly appearance stuff, since the car is still under warranty, I really don't want to mess with the engine. K&N drop in is the pretty much the only thing under the hood. Front and rear STB, Steeda short shifter, SVT dead pedal, clear corners, Euro grille, Euro 15 spoke gun metal grey rims, Hella projector lenses (possibly) and massive stereo work.
