Ok enough playing around. We'll get this thread moved if not careful...

So you plan on doing other mods? Like headers or high flow cats? These would possible help you runa lil more on the rich side up top.

I've got a line on a good convertor that should put me at about 2800 stall. I've been foot braking up to 2250 on a stock convertor. Money's already commited on that. Next will be injectors.

Past that I'd like to do the pacesetters but I'm less than enthusiastic about fabbing the pieps to connect headers to cats to catback. I've got true duals up to the magnaflow muffler (might be true duals through it but I don't know) and dual pipes going out of it. I'm really not impressed with the price of the stainless header sytems out there. I wish they'd drop like the f-bodies have. Or that hooker would make some decent ones but I know I'm in a niche within a niche market when header shopping.

If I end up doing a cam it'll be a dinky one like 206 or 208 intake and 212 or 218 exhaust. I like how the truck still sounds like it only has a catback and the supercharger cannot be heard until I am on it.

If I could find some wheels I liked (18's or 20's) that would actually weigh a little less than my stockers I'd be inclined to get them. Unfortunately they are all mirror chromed and not my style. Seems all wheels make a statement these days and I want mine to shut up and get to work

Ultimately, I'd like to just dip into the 13's like a 13.89 or so and call it good. It's a daily driver and I don't want to be crapping out parts left and right or even be worried about what's gonna break next.
