Finally making progress!!!!!!!!!
Excuse the excitement 
Finally getting some good mods together! On the way now I have a set of VT/CMS Stage 1 cams
Innovate lc-1 wideband with analog gauge
Sniper Special Forces tuning kit
Autometer A pillar single gauge pod
Overlay vinyl that goes between the tail lights on the back of the car in gloss black
lower valance (roush style) overlay gloss black
Replacement tail lights (wasn't feeling the Night Shades any more and one was cracked)
Stangmods tail light tints
smoked headlights with clear reflector
and a gloss black overlay for the sunk in part of the hood in front of the scoop
and a set of 1" Wheel spacers.
Pretty to excited to have some new things to do over the winter now
I wanted new wheels but shipping up here was to much so I got twice the parts for the money I would of spent! What do you guys think? Any advice? A good cam install guide would be great! I think my wife was being extra nice since I am in the Air Force and just got promoted to Senior Airman. Maybe if I make Staff Sergeant maybe I can get a blower or some suspension mods

That's quite a list! Congrates on the promotion as well.
I've been to Alaska (Fairbanks and surrounding areas) before. Kind of felt like the upper peninsula in Michigan here. Only on a much grander scale...lol.

Thanks guys Yeah I went with stage 1 cams because I am stuck in Alaska so I can't get a tune and will be using sniper the best I can to get everything going...hopefully with help from hoss and cliffy I started to do Hitech stage 2 cams but tuning them would not work so well without spending alot more on the commando software. I am mainly going for twisties rather than the strip anyways and am not out for gobs of power. Just a fun to drive car and then once it's payed off look into a second hand BMW m3! Laugh if you must but I love them for some reason but will still keep my car.
I hope the cams will help out a bit and I still need to get the money together for a JLT intake gears and other various things. Shipping is crazy to here so I am going for small things right now. I think the cams will do fine as they have a good ranger of power and I won't be spinning the motor much past 5500 anyways as there is really not much need to with my mods Not to mention I got them with less than 5k on them for a real good price with gears and bolts. So I saved about 350 bucks

Only thing better than ordering parts is receiving them, putting them on, then seeing the final result (unless its worse than you thought). When I got the body parts for mine in its was like xmas this month, now after the install Im even happier (pics will be up tomorrow)
