Hey Guys

SS/RS L99 A6

Here are my mods to date...Kooks catted headers 1 7/8, Magnaflow 2.5 competition exhaust, TVS Supercharger, Fessler Pilar Air/Fuel mix and Boost Guages, Roto Fab CAI,Dyno tuned engine and tranny and BMR sways front and back. 460RWHP 462 Torque.

I've got 8k from the sale of a bike to put more mods on...Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Spend the $8k in gold, mods won't do you any good when the economy blows up.

It really depends on how you use your car but a few things just off the top of my head: cam, torque converter, 3.73s, fuel system upgrades, solid sub frame mounts, engine mounts, differential bushings, toe rods, and trailing arms would make things interesting.

a new kimber ultra carry ( lol jk- this is what i want for concealed). Maybe look at new wheels, or sell your ls3 and use that plus your 8k to fund a forged 427 project.

Agree with this 100%
Also,it amazes me how people love to jack a thread and turn it into a gun conversation.
