One huge benefit to doing your own mods is knowing how everything goes together and not being at the mercy of a shop if something goes wrong.

The only mod I didn't do myself was gears.

amen to that. i am a diesel mechanic and will not let anyone but myself touch my vehicle.

I'm sure I missed some stuff. I like to be prepared.

My car weighed about the same and I have an iron block. I think it was 3940 with me in it.

Your trunk sounds like the inside of a chick's purse.

My track bag has the following in it when I go to the track or out of town. Probably weighs 20 lbs. I can change belts, pulleys, plugs, pull off my blower.

Two belts
torque wrench
Set of plugs gapped and anti-siezed- socket and extension included.
Ball end allens with handle tightener.
electrical tape
zip ties (very handy to have BTW)
window marker
gloves
shock adjustment key
tire pressure gauge
1 SC pulley
2 micro fiber clothes
spray wax/cleaner
couple screwdrivers, wrenches and pliers.
