Its ok. The small stuff makes all the difference. Yes it has Bluetooth and aux in.
I upgraded plugs, wires, thermostat, catch can. Just minor things to keep the engine running cool.

I didn't get in to the engine because I wasn't sure which direction to go. I have driven a lot of high horsepower cars and it gets to the point where the power is waisted or just for bragging rights. The car's power is great with 580rwhp and the 3:70 gears. I didn't want a car that if you sneeze the tires spin out or lose the "drivability". So I had a couple of things in mind.

1. Gm has a fully forged ls3 with 525 hp for 10k and just bring the boost up when I wanted more power. Going from 8lbs to 12lbs (sell my stock engine to make some of the money back)

2. Stealth cam, forge and build up to a 416 and more boost if needed. (But I didn't want the cam to be to big. Wanted to keep a nice smooth ride)

I just never decided which one I wanted to do.
