I have a engine lift and a car lift (my dad is starting a rebuild of his own so I have most all tools) also to add I haven't found any cams? Besides the ones that are $1000plus any one else have any luck? And thank you everyone for the help I really appreciate it.

Seriously though, save your money on a TB spacer. They are worthless. There is 0 gain from them.

I don't have headers myself, but plan on getting a set of Pacesetters with high flow cats. I have heard the result, and it is beautiful. Here's the thread of 2005Redfire6 sixxer with those LT's.

From what I have read, a throttle body spacer is only beneficial if a car is highly modified (supercharger, turbo, nitrous and etc.). Very little to no performance gain with a naturally aspirated car. I would put your money towards something else.
I would highly recommend a CAI/tuner combo.

Those long tubes sound amazing! Thank you for stopping me from getting the short ones.

I was talking to my friend at lunch and he suggested a straigh pipe exausht? What's your guys opinion on the exausht vs the headers? I could probably at some point towards the end of the year do both, but I guess which one first?

I would stay away from straight pipes. You can look up several different Youtube videos of people doing it to their sixxer, and it doesn't sound good. Same goes for deleting the cats as well. That's just my personal opinion though.

Then again, it is your car. If you like it, then go for it.

I think those are the ones that were used by 2005Redfire6. Could be wrong.

I'm not sure of the state laws in Idaho, you may or may not have trouble passing emission laws with LT's.

or the 200-617 (need advice on which is better for the price), a spectra premium sp2203m fuel pump (not sure if it's nessisary or not),Not necessary unless you're heavily FI

I'm hoping some sort of chip, Chips are for eating. We retune our cars.

accel 140035 special coil spring, an aggressive muffler possibly a flow master? No performance change here, just exhaust note.

And a bbk 4010 chrome 1-5/8" short tuned length exausht headers and a bbk 1737 chrome cold air induction intake system. I'm not 100% attached to any of these but I'm curious if any won't work with the others. Things I should avoid. Maybe things I should look I to. Or if there are better products with a comparably price
Be sure to use the search feature regarding each of these mods you're considering. Your first purchase should be a good CAI & tune combo from Brenspeed, VMP or AM. They write some of the better tunes. After that, your gains will be nickle and dime unless you pony up some serious $$ to go FI.
