I have to agree with Joe, the install of a SC is just the start of the mods, but it can be managed. Some additional upgrades weren't required but I thought it would be wise, such as new radiator (cooling), widebody kit with wheels/tires (traction) and currently a meth kit install 9protect engine).
Yeah, like my little LS1 is going to give your LS3 a run for it's money.

But you were already ahead of me

Have you read my signature....you just buy used, I am willing to whore myself out for mods....
