Always wanted to make one of these kinds of threads
Well, ive been out of work for a couple months now, and havn't been able to put any money into my car(why i got a job in the first place) but finally found a serving job and am making some bank

I ordered:

SCT Live wire tuner
Accufab 75mm t/b/plenum
Black projector head lights (i know some of yall don't like the projectors, but i lik'em)
MM subframe connectors
UPR LCA's
31 spline axles

I splurged a little bit

still need to get a s/t shifter, which i'll probably order a after tonights shift if everything goes well in tips(looking at either a Steeda Tri-ax, or the 5.0 shifters from AM, suggestions welcome) and I'm still looking into a set of cams(again suggestions welcome), and then once all that is done, i'll start piecing together a S/C

Will probably be a while until everything is installed, school just started, but this will give me something to look forward too.

Nice little list there, I suggest a tri-ax shifter over 5.0. I have the tri-ax and love it, very good quality and feels great. Also heard really good things about the "MGW", never used one but everyone swears by both the tri-ax and MGW. If you get either of these I'm sure you wont regret it.

yea I'm waiting tables, its sports bar called "JB's" not a chain, a local type thing, but I've been bringing home 150+ in tips on week nights, next weekend will be my first time working a weekend so I'm hoping for even more. Being 18 they were skeptical putting me on weekends just starting out, but I proved i can handle it this past week, and all that is completely diposable income lol

but I think I'm gonna go with the Tri-ax, since it does seem like most people swear by them.
