Default Game Plan

I've had lots of great responses in the past....tks! After much consideration here is the game plan......
I am about to order a BBK CAI, and a set of FFRP 3.73 gears and a SCT 4 bank chip (with selector). Also going to upgrade to 13" cross drilled rotors, SS lines and Cobra calipers. BUT......before I drop all this money....and input would be appreciated!!
Suspension is next...but one step at a time!

with your auto..u wont feel much of a diiference with the new 3.73 gears. trust me....I know people that have auto's and used 3.73 only to upgrade a month after for a 4.10 gear...they like 4.10's better. instead of the BBK intake..I would get the K&N GEN II FIPK intake. The BBK intake Tubes are made of metal..and get REALLY hot..I had it before ...and got the K&N intake kit..K&N is better as the pipe is plastic..and does not heat as much at all..
The JLT Ram air kit was good to ...but i took that shyt out as it was bumping against my OIL fill and cause it to break the seal.

How much are u paying for the BBK intake?

I ask becuase I am selling a Brand new K&N GEN II FIPK intake kit. If your interested let me know...its listed on the CLASSIFIEDS section with more details.

Also...I had my car DYNO tuned w/ a SCT 4-bank chip...I likes it alot.

Dont bother with a cai unless you get it used for a good deal there is little power to be had by buying one. The gears and tune are a great mod and i understand you drive alot of miles thus your choice of 3.73's but for an auto i really would say get the 4.10's and take the extra 200-300rpms they give you over 3.73's at crusing speeds and your car will accerate soo much better with them.

Its your car you can do 2.73's for all i care. Just saying for the small rpms difference 4.10's are way better in an auto car.

I did think about that. I have some pretty extensive math that gives me rpms at a given speed with all variables factored in. It pusts 3.73 @ 80 @ 2775 rpm. Anything over 2800 makes me a little nervous. The 4.10's would be great to help compensate for the sluggish 2.82 1st, however 4.10's put me at about 3000 on the highway. I'm more concerned about daily drivablitiy in the long run than all out performance. Decisions....decisions.....lol. But I sure do appreciate all the feedback

just install the 4.10's and slow down on the highway to get the rpms down
