    That weather stripping across the cowl is not even needed, I took it off to help get the heat from the motor out.

    You wont even notice its gone, unless someone is really picky and wants everything to be prefect.

    Right now? probably not. Down the road, you can bet your ass.

    plans over the summer...

    polished ls1tb, Or N*
    polished blower (maybe)
    3.4 pulley
    Headers
    SX cam (not sure 1,2,3,4) Or A xps, not sure
    some springs,
    most defiantly titanium retainers. I LOVE how quick it made my 99 rev
    Probably a Built trans

    Im not just gonna go all out at once, little at a time, headers are probably First priority after cai.

    I know you said this wont be till summer-ish for your mod starting.

    But, anyways, I dont think you'll need either of those TB's, because you most likely will not outflow them.

    I'd go VS cam with L76 springs, its a very good combo and easier of the chain. Awesome mid range power, and thats what you want. Spinning to the moon is lame.

    no, full coverage was took off the car when he paid it off (3 weeks later it caught fire)

    If i do the N*tb, its for Throttle response (feel in the pedal)

    N* Pedal feel blows, if you want good pedal feel, port the stocker or get an LS1 setup.
