And another! I sold the idea of getting my SS to my wife by saying how it already has good power and handling stock so there is no reason to jump into mods, HA! I knew better and so did she!

Not too many real mistakes thanks to researching this site first but I ported my stock MAF then had to get another one when I got a tune since it doesnt keep a constant A/F ratio with a ported MAF. And trying to knife edge the throttle body and causing a high idle but I just put a piece of tape over the hole and it is back to normal.

Ha I almost did that when my dad was going to give me his old 95 V6. Good thing I waited and just bought a V8, still cost less and nets more in the long run.

By far not putting konis on years ago Whole new car now

Painting my calipers before sorting out my warped rotors

Not molding in my GFX first time around, and settling for a small 'bead' in the join instead....

Mecham tips, the quality sucks

A POS HyperTech that toasted my PCM, since it took for ever to over write, then my battery died.

Spray painting my calipers with silver VHT.

Still having stock shocks, my car rides like a chariot.

Buying Pacesetter headers when I should have saved up for some Stainless Kooks or something else. I have the pacesetters and don't even drive my car in the winter and they are still all rusted.

buy a used catback system; check the classfieds on the board. GMMG and Corsa are the best systems you can get, but it will cost you $1000+ new or $350+ used. other popular systems are borla, hooker, and tsp true duals. check out http://ls1sounds.com/
