So after throwing on the throttle body today, I'm looking forward to a second job this summer, so the SVT can get a few fun presents.
Planned so far:
Custom intake (ram air, with a pipercross-style add-on utilizing stock airbox)
Exhaust (center exit if $$ allows, but probably just a standard Borla)
SCT tune from focussport
Either header wrap or ceramic coated header, and a high-flow cat(maybe)
Possibly a lightweight aluminum flywheel from focussport (so i can still use cheap stock clutches)
What do you guys think? Good/bad/ugly?
Mods planned for summer...input?

I wear my sunglasses at night.
I would, but I can't afford to muck up my daily driver too badly.

I'm planning on:
a wash mod
swapping the engine lubricant
checking tire pressure

mnfocus does'nt have the space for Nils' and I to list the summer mods...
But the mods you have listed so far seem pretty good. Any susp mods? Not sure what you have done so far...

Pants too tight, wheels so bright!
Eh, it's stock SVT suspension....and it's cornering limit is far beyond mine. Besides, I really don't wanna drop a car that gets driven in MN in the winter. I do eventually wanna get another car for winter and throw a PWSC in the SVT...maybe make it a black RS widebody eventually, if money allows.

I'm dumb and stobburn. So I understand.

yeah, I'm just looking to let the motor breathe a little freer, run a little smoother and rev just a wee bit quicker...nothing too dramatic until I have another car so I can afford to leave the SVT in the garage to putz with.
