North West corner, Burrillville to be specific why? And yeah the iso's are in.
On the build topic my serious plans, meaning plans that will be done within the next year or two are going to be longtubes and h pipe with high flows welded, 8.8 swap, pnp upper, flsfc's and possibly gears and pnp lower depending on money. These are things that will be getting done no doubt.
However if I get the RA position at school next year I'll make just shy of $9,000 and half of that will be going into an M112 setup including hood paint and everything. This will only be if I get the position because if not I simply will not pull that much money out of my bank account for car stuff. I am hoping to get the position but if not I will try my junior year because it is a lot of money for not really hard work. My only concern is by the time I have an serious money for the M112 setup or forged 4.2 internals or something, ssm won't be carrying them or no one will be selling the M112 kit.

RA is a sweet job, but from me to you- its not as easy as you think! But its a great time, i definately reccomend it.
as for the mods, bump SFC's to the top of the list! They eliminated about 90% of the noises in my interior, and really stiffened the car up

I would take a look for ya, but I move back to school Saturday sans car so it won't be so easy. I know its not as easy as everyone thinks, but I mean like its not like physically hard manual labor. My father did it way back when and he said its something he wouldn't change if it could do it again, and he enjoyed it. I didn't even know you had sfc's, I don't know what you have besides those rims lol. They are cheap I just have to find someone to weld them in for me, I'll probably get them done in April, birthday time. But I also want to get my 8.8 swap done then.

214/214 110LSA and .484 life at .50
Ive bee told its a good baby cam- I didnt wat to redo the valvetrain, so it works with stock springs and retainers, and pushrods. good idle, and should bump me over the 300 mark if i get some boost.
