That is one hell of a first upgrade! People usually start with bolt-ons but you aren't playing around.

I have those (3.91) in my 2011 2SS and wow does it wake it up. $1100 installed is what I paid for mine -- but I'm here in the 'southern' area too -- that was the kit and installation for mine...

Alternative Auto in Chesterfield Twp. You provide the gears and the install kit from DTS. DTS is the only install kit they will use.

Since you have a list of things you're wanting to do, i'd HIGHLY suggest getting with the Futrual guys. They will take good care of you and they can't be far from you.
