So far i've added the GT take off exhaust and the Evo JLT tune to the car and im thinkin about the next upgrade. I cant decide whether to go with some more performance or appearance now.

I have a couple things on the list which include 4.10's, t-lok, better exhaust (mrt more then likely) hood scope and matching red rockers. Ill take all suggestions maybe some of you have a better idea of what next that i didnt think of. Thanks

it depends on ur taste, new rims really set make our cars look great....and the appearance mods are always fun to do, but it comes down to what pleases you more, a little more beef, or better looks....i'd say go with gears and t-lock or detroits Truetrac....do you have a CAI for your tune?

Got the intake and tuner....depending on how much it runs i may bolt up the other side exhaust and get a new bumper just depends on how much it is.....the only prob with gears and t-lok is the ammount they charge to install, i heard anywhere from $500-$900 overall costs.

This was 620 shipped to my shop:

And install is only 2 hours for a whole rear end, and no gear whine.

Gears will give yu a great performance gain. But i'm sure you have enough power right now to satisfy you for a short while. Go for some looks next then back to performance.

Todd, is the V6 driveshaft compatible with the GT rear??? I'd like to go this route as well, but I haven't been able to confirm which driveshaft changes may/may not be necessary. TIA!

Yea, it is. I don't have the specifics yet on how it bolts up though. I will find out shortly. I ordered it and having it drop shipped to PH. I'll give them a call tomorrow on the specifics and report my findings.

I'm thinking this, with a set of 3.55's and a shorter DR, like some sticky MT's will net me a better time.
