I've got a few more major mods to make in addition to those listed in my sig. They are stage two heads, newly released LPE airbox and mass-air (going on in the next couple of months) and smooth black shiney FRC's with LIGENFELTER in silver inscribed on 'em

Gotta admit, I'm very happy with my ride!
