Probably Free Ram air because I don't like the idea of cutting part of the car but I already did it so oh well

Anyone know how much the radiator shroud is?

I've done quite a few mods in my life.. and the most annoying was definately the trailing arms.. I redid the ENTIRE suspension on the car.. front to back.. but those damn Hotchkis trailing arms... they squeeked for the rest of my life.. nothing I could do to get it to go away.

Ripper shifter... way loud.. went with Hurst.. much better to my liking.

So far just the SLP ATM... I lost 7 hp with that thing And SLP will not give me a "good" answer as to why it did that, they just told me what the ATM is supposed to do instead why it caused me to lose HP

That is my only complaint on any mod I have ever done

Ed Wright Programming... I should have had it custom progrmmed while it was on a dyno instead... and still may end up doing it... and spending another $300.

Hurst Billet Plus... I bought one because that's what I used in my Mustang, my 2 TAs and my Formula. Swapped it out for a Pro 5.0 which is much smoother and quieter.

I would have to say the lamest mod I ever mad was pulling the stock exhaust off my iroc and putting on a glasspack Last week I returned to the stock exhaust and its much nicer tone ands more low end torque
