Yeah it's my daily driver, so i'll probably skip out on the wideband for now. I just wanted to get some more power out of the beast. Will I feel a decent amount of power from the 3.4? Kinda sucks that i'm getting this done now in the beginning on soon-to-be winter. Oh well, it will be done for spring, then I can get some apperance stuff (Rims, HID's, tint)

you will notice quite a bit of difference on the 3.4, especially in winter, as long as you run KR free that is.

The colder air will add about another 1 or 2 psi of boost so hopefully your car can handle it.

I'm going to get the Aeroforce scan gauge to look for KR. Should I also get the 3.8 Modular Pulley just in case I would have to change back for some reason.

get the aeroforce first. see how much KR ur getting if any. You might be able to keep the 3.4 and just run 94 octane if you have a degree or 2. BUT you might not have any, I wouldn't waste the money on a 3.8 until you know you can't run a 3.4.

woah, why the expensive AEM gauges? You can get a $30 boost gauge that will work the same and look just as good. Look at glowshift gauges.

Everything else looks good, unless you LOVE the look of those AEM gauges and don't mind spening the $350 on them, I would get a cheaper gauge and put the money towards something more useful.

Here is the glowshift gauge.

Check out their site, they have ALOT of gauges, some very similar looking to the AEM gauges on ZZP's site but alot cheaper.

I know that's what I said, they are kinda expensive. I just threw them on there for now, I haven't shopped around yet, it's still early, only 12:20 on a Sarurday. LOL! What do you think about the muffler deal R.S.? Keep it stock or not? Should I do the 180* t-stat also?

the stock mufflers are actually pretty good. It doesn't hurt to put on new mufflers but it's money that could be better spent.

If I were you I would keep the stock mufflers and when your getting your downpipe done just have the shop take the resonator out. This will make it a bit louder and give it a deeper tone.

I would go with a 180* tstat, not the 160*.

Those glowshift gauges look pretty sweet! Thanks for that link!

I'd rather get those and then get the HID set-up too. Which HID set-up do you guys think is best the ZZP or WBS or somewhere else?

I have the glowshift boost gauge, it is nice. The red matches the stock gauges pretty closely which is what I'm going for.

VVME

If you want Hi beams then get the bi-xenon kit. If you get a single beam kit then when you try to use your hi-beams they just wont work.

Don't be fooled into thinking higher priced HID's are better. VVME's are great.

I might just get those too. I do want some blue tint so I think the 8000K will be perfect and still have good light output. (I was kinda in a toss-up between 6000K/8000K. They are the 9007 bulb correct.

For the fogs do I need to order another set or can is there a better route.

Yes, for headlights it is 9007 bulb.

HID's are the best route for fogs as well.

Stock fogs is an 880 bulb and yes, you would need another single beam kit.

I would recommend aftermarket glass fogs to replace the crappy stockers. Most aftermarket fogs take an H1 or H3 bulb or something like that.

Ok I can see getting a single beam for the fog lights but should I get the Bi-Xenon for my headlights. Are the hi-low beam worth-while?

Well now that I look at it again before posting this... i'll just get a set of the single beam 880 8000K for fogs (but I guess that depends on the housing I get, anyone here have decent aftermarket fog housings) and Bi-Xenon 8000K for headlights.
