Nice car! You'd better run away from this forum and these guys as fast as you can. The mod bug doesn't just bite.......it hangs on and sucks you dry. LOL
Enjoy your car and don't forget to wave.

after that i'll probably take a little time off from modding and try to pay the car off...
I know the feeling. I usually make pretty good money. But right now it's a little tight. Can't wait to get my exhaust and Vararam. Stereo is going in soon. Already have same head unit you have.
BTW. I don't think I would spend the money on the Fast intake. Unless your going with a big cam and heads the gains won't be much at all over an LS6 intake. Happy modding.
