I wish i had a TCS button to put an additional button next to :/
- woot

I got the button installed yesterday. I ended up removing the lighter plug next to the TCS button and installing the perf shift button there as it had the same diameter and it has another lighter plug next to the e-brake anyway. it took me way longer than I had expected, but it's finally done.

I haven't taken it to the track yet. My rear tires are all worn and I haven't been able to find anything on this size around here. The guy who imports maxxis brand told me that he will have some stock by the first week of March.
The rear end is screaming too.

Why did you go with such a small cam?
Also, I don't think I read about any exhaust work. That thing needs to breathe, put some longtube headers and a true dual exhaust on it. Show those odd people in mexico why v8's are clearly better.

Oh, never mind. I just looked at your pictures again and saw the stainless headers. Good.

Yup, mods are in my signature too. I don't want a bigger cam for a couple of reasons: as you can see the street tires are barely hanging in there, the trans and differential are taking a beating too, that's why I decided to install the perf shift button so I can run them on stock settings most of the time I also don't want this car to lope at idle, it sounds great but I don't like to drive it all day like that and I also didn't want to hurt MPG.
I normally go with the mods that won't hurt MPG, driveability and somewhat comfort. I don't always drive it hard, I like to drive it to work every day comfortably but still have that extra punch in it. I like it to be reliable enough so that I can take my wife with me and drive it down to the beach.
Anyway I'm very pleased with this cam, given that it's one of the smallest out there I didn't expect to see much difference, but it does and a lot! The car sounds different (a little more loud and deep) now other car alarms will trigger when I pass by and I still have the stock muffler in there. It also revs faster and it pulls harder obviously. I also need to press the gas pedal a lot less now, the speedo climbs real quick with very little effort.
Maybe it wont break any dyno or track records, but I like how the engine "behaves" now it feels completely different.

You should invest in some suspension mods or your not gonna put that power to the ground very well

I only have the rear LCAs so far but I also have planned to get relocation brackets, phanard bar and sub frame connectors later this year. Hopefully it will help, I know the LCAs did.

A friend just dropped $4000 on this package for his Maro. Its a summer toy and people started catching up to him so he had to step up his game. You need some of their parts.

Yep those are good suspension mods, I'd get a STB because it's cheap. Don't spend money on a torque arm unless you just have extra money to blow.
The best suspension mod I did to my fbody was definitely springs and shocks. Went with bilsteins and strano springs, what an amazing ride. Not harsh but still nice and firm with a great stance that wasn't too low. I know you like comfort but you should consider it because your shocks could probably be replaced anyway.

Its a well put together kit, while pricey yes, he wanted a full tubular suspension for the track. Needed to step up the front suspension from the original 01 SS factory suspension, and replace the steering gear and front rotors from the factory ones that were old and worn out. This was a full solution and I could be wrong, but thought they were a solid company for quality parts.

Ya my friends Maro already runs solid 10s on mostly stock suspension, this is to save weight and help get a little extra out of it and replace older parts all in one tear down.
Major overkill for most, It just popped in my head and thought I'd throw it out there lol.
Midwest does alot of good suspension stuff but its pricey.
