Does replacing the hideous wagon wheels on my 99 with polished Y2K's count as a mod?? Technically they are factory wheels, it's just my car was born premature with ugly shoes..

Default whats next

what do you think will be your next engine mod or mods. My car is stock except for cat back and Haltech intake. I am going to kick the timing up with a tune, better flowing injectors, water and meth injection. Tuner said to expect 420bhp

Just got it back from Extreme Motosports in Tempe, Az had them remove my Hurricane intake and replace it with twin turbos from TTi. Also Ron Davis radiator, Cobalt guages, boost a pump, PCV catch can, and LS7 clutch. Dyno run netted 450 rwhp and 500 rwtq on a TTi Stage 1 kit. Before the work i was running 305 rwhp and 326 rwtq.
