5.0 upgrades

RE: 5.0 upgrades
www.mrbodykit.com and or ebay. I got these off of ebay. They're OK, had a slight problem with fitment as they weren't 100% on Q, but close enough. Just make sure that when you get your lights you seal them off all around the lense, then against popular belief, drill 2 or 3 small holes in the bottom of each lense, this will make them last longer and will stop them from fogging up. Trust me on this, I live in Louisiana where it's humid as hell!!!!!!!!

Put it this way, I don't have them yet, but I can feel that I need them now.

gears and sticky tires are a nice start.
control arms are needed no matter what the application. the stock ones are pretty much junk to begin with and on top of that there now at least 12years old replace them without a doubt.
i notice a big difference back when my car was stock. i went from spinning into 3rd to spinning in 2nd gear.

easy and some fast shifting. i remember one time when i was pi$$ed at my girl i went picked up a friend and got on it pretty hard. i was running through the gears grabbed third really hard (not power shifting just shifted) and the car kicked side ways. Needless to say it scared both of us a little bit.
the mods were: fresh 308 BBK lts bbk o/r hpipe delta 40's bbk fpr bbk udp and 373's

a lotta ppl get gears first and its not a bad idea but if u get gears b4 everything else it will dictate what powerband u have to run.... soo i left mine for later on.... if u just want a cheap bang for buck tho there rite gears are the best..... a h/c/i its a good idea to... but saving up for a while will be neccesary.... nitrous isnt to price as far as a kit.... fill ups is were they get up.... and i dont see a reason to mention a s/c or a t/c cuz there all like 2k or more.... u wanna go fast or cheap??? get gears short shifter nitrous shot rear control arms and springs.... if u can drive ull ahve a 12second car
