Leave the car stock or else your in store to go deep into your pockets !

My Mag was fun for a year and now the thrill is gone.
I'm just starting my forged 383 twin turbo project along with some other goodies.

Staying here will make the mod bug grow like a fat lady at the buffet bar. Had my car about 6 weeks now and have had mods coming every week since. When my last 3 mods get here I think I'll be done for a while, yea right. Enjoy, there's nothing like fixing up this awesome machine.

I would suggest that if you do the cam, do heads and/or headers at the same time. Would save you a bundle in labor if you determined later to go for those mods.

Do some headers, high flow cats and x-pipe before you do the dyno tune. Will make a really nice package.

You do of course realize that the infection will spread and that there is not cure.
