    285x70x17 offset rims+ 1.5 spacers, rear Timbrens + 3 inch lift add a leaf, Sway-a-way coilovers + camburg control arms, Fender flares (2.5 inch), clear lights, headers, sliders, roll bar
    Not quite decided about whats kind of headers to buy.

    I'm looking deep grow and some HP gain. :D

    From what i'm reading here and there seems that my best shot is Thorley headers. I know this subject has been repeted over and over but I have done the search, read everthing I could find.
    I will be looking for a SC also in the near futur if anybody sees one send me a link

    thx

    I guess nobody has an opinion on these two set of headers?
    I want to make a move today, would really appreciate if someone gave me a pointer. performance vs sound...
