The first modifications.

So, when I first got this, the motor was completely stock and had 125,000 miles on it. The first thing it got was a new motor and transmission. Of course, the rebuilt trans was not done right and failed 6 months afterwards. But it was a start. After that came the suspension lift, 2.5" spring lift only, no body lifts. Very nice system by Rough Country Suspensions. But the real mods under the hood start just after these.

1) I put on a Flowmaster muffler and high flow Dynamax Cat. These alone made a noticeable difference in performance.
2) 63MM Throttle Body that I bought on Ebay and a Cold Air Intake system. These also made a noticeable increase in performance. I still need to open the intake hole at the TB for the 63MM body. Kind of have a restrictor plate there currently.
3) The next mod has not showed up yet, but I hope to see it in the next couple of weeks. I will keep you posted.
