thanks for the kind words
No, no mods yet.. previous owner kept it totally stock. 1st things will be an intake and exhaust
then maybe a chip - but as I understand it, the L's go to 4 cyl. when shifting, which a chip overrides but causes the tranny much stress? (due to fluid pressure?)
I dont want to go crazy with it, mainly because I'd like to stay living a few more years.
here in my home town, you dont see too many high end sports cars. Occasional Vette or totally done-up Fbody is about the best you'll run into on the street. So it was exciting driving through Houston and San Antonio, playing on the freeway with some nicer cars.
now I'm back home, and I spanked a few ricers like it was nothing when I took the gf to lunch. Its like not even worth wasting time or gas on those jerkoffs now, even though they were my only viable competition in my crappy firebird

Valhalla1,
Congrats.
All kidding aside. Do the following and you'll not believe how much better it'll run and yet be safe for a daily driver. (In this order too)
1) oil seperator & new plugs
2) FTVB
3) Lift bars
4) Air filter
5) 4# pulley and chip (dyno tuned if poss)
These 5 will astound you when you go WOT.
WOT

Heck I even saw a Bentley Azure convertible (~300K car) yesterday at Ichiban's.
