Still undecided on which intake, other than that saving money for the new mods. Got a b-day coming up so hopefully I'll be able to do some shopping soon.

ClayB,

that car looks damn good with those wheels. do you know how light they are compared to some welds/certerlines or similar?

the first thing i want to do is change the wheels and get the window's tinted.

I hope this doesn't mean the truck is done after the LS6 intake swap.

i wanna say the 17x9.5 wheels were around 25-35lbs.. dont quote me on that though

i had the 17x9.5 w/ 275/40-17 tires front and back

if i could do it again.. i would had put the 17x11 on the back

you will be very happy with these wheels.. i got alot of looks

i actually put the stock camaro wheels back on when i sold the car.. i put the wheels on my 84 corvette... here is a picture of it


i sold my vette last year

4k would be nice but i don't think the wife will like that kind of driving all the time. it's going to get at least a 3k though.
