What are some of the things you convinced yourself you needed or just had to have done to your car? Things that may or may not have truly increased your performance but your happy you did it/them.

I will go 1st (in no particular order, and I am sure there is a lot more)

#1 throttle controller
#2 fuel rails
#3 holly intake (had a ported rod mod intake)
#4 upgraded motor mounts
#5 stereo system (never use it)
#6 led cup holder
#7 foot well lighting
#8 foglight mod
#9 engine grounding kit
#10 changed my whole turbo setup before actually tuning the first one hahaha

Ok, please tell me i am not the only one with this illness.

Have had mine for nearly 8.5 years and haven't made one mod yet. You must be the only one who does mods.

I ‘might’ be the exception.

Real, painted, old school pin striping
GM CAI
Tune (ok, 2 tunes)
MMR wheels

I guess I have a mild case.

Tarendor · 01-30-2021, 08:08 AM

It is funny how many times I have told my wife that I am done...only to have my dealers (ups and fedex) drop off more smack.

1JEWLDSSRS · 01-30-2021, 08:18 AM

Um, well, let's see,,,,, well I'm still going to therapy for this!!! She says my addiction is REALLY bad!! lol..

Tarendor · 01-30-2021, 08:29 AM

I like to justify my addiction with statements like: at least I am not out drinking or gambling...I ain't got time to go cheat on my wife either....but my wife calls my car the first wife and that she is the second...I keep telling her it's for her too...she didn't buy that and I ended up moding her tahoe with:

Heads
Cam
DOD delete
UDP
Intake
Throttlebody
Headers and full exhaust
Headlights
Grill
Tail lights
Chrome pieces
Stereo upgrades

She keeps asking me when am going to start on my tahoe and I keep telling her I am not done with...my camaro..OMG I really am addicted!!!
