Save a bit more and get drop springs and sway bars. I have made significant mods to my car and if I had to go back and to only one of the mods I've done, it would no doubt be my Pfadt drop springs and sway bars! It makes the car corner better AND it looks much better too.

it's at your own risk, I agree with you have to pay to play.

Most people who mod their cars don't give a damn about the warranty. Tunes are like

for cars, makes a whole new monster, ESPECIALLY for the L99. If something breaks, it just means new upgrades.

A tune and a shifter...or at least put me close to a shifter...lol

I'd take the $500 to Atlantic city and try to turn it into just enough for a Flowmaster AMT and a better clutch.

Ugh, it's your car, but you shouldn't just throw on random 'bling' accessories just because you have the money.

Id wait for some headers and Cams before you need a tune. The suspension kit would be good.
