Yeah. I'm about to dump more money.

She isn't feeling fast enough at this rate.

Tires, tint and powder coat the wheels are first. Especially before Ocmd

you need better suspension if you want more traction. then it will be faster.

I'm contemplating going all suspension first, then go fast mods second. you could have a car with 600whp and little suspension mods and a car with 500whp and a solid suspension, and they run the same, or the 500hp car could run faster. it's all about putting the power to the ground. but i'm sure you know that.

I have lakewoods on it. Definitely helped. Subframe connectors are a must now

it is not hard at all. the hardest part (time consuming) is getting to the bolts on the back of the intake manifold. once you break them loose, you should be able to use your fingers to take them off the rest of the way. Good thing about those though, is that you don't have to put them back on. lol

you will need the RTV gasket maker. you can find it at autozone. i used BLUE RTV, but others have used Black or dark blue, which is for higher temps.
