    Looks great man, loving the black SVT.

    However, Ive got to say a few things since Ive been around this platform, forever...

    Ive owned two sets of FMS wires and both caused misfires at high rpms at the track on two occasions, heh just an FYI. You may not notice it now, but that KKM or any short ram for that matter is going to cause some major heat soak in the summer. Also, removing that IMRC cover should be the next on your list of things to do. Heat causes failure on the IMRC not to engage so your secondaries will stay shut. Ive had mine removed for over a year now.


    As far as Cold Air Intakes? Dont buy one from CustomCougars or GMK, I make them as well. I made them for a while. They utilize GSR intakes as well as CRX intakes, cut them, and piece them together and charge you an assload for them. If you are interested in getting a true cold air intake for your car get with me sometime in the future and Ill tell you how to make one and install it in your car. Trust me, youll notice a huge difference going from an SRI to a CAI on this motor.

    If you have lots of money to spend, Magnecores. I just use Duralast wires. First sign of a miss fire, I get fresh plugs and take my wires back under warranty. Ive been using these for a while under heavy load conditions with no problem at all. Alternative to that is stock wires. Stock wires are actually good wires.

    yep, i also got smaller tires it came with 205/55's i got some 205/50's form a friend when i blew one tire, so the wheels might look a bit tiny. hopefully ill get soem wheels soon and step above the painted wheel syndrome..
