Default Upgrades

With the weather getting warmer, I'll be doing some upgrades and some maintenance work. I started off by upgrading to an auto dim mirror and rewiring my my Hid lights.
Here's the pics;

Yeah I'm looking at accomplishing this summer a stroker kit along with 3 inch body lift. Also debating on doing an add-a-leaf in the rear with stronger springs in the front. Probably add a deep oil pan as well.

After sharps writeup on fixing the lumbar support I am kind of stoked about that. However I want to get the leather re-covered and add seat heating pad elements.

I have to do the ball joints (with Moog) and will replace the shocks (Bilstein or Edelbrocks) on all four corners. Then a CAI (K&N) and headers (still deciding) are planned. This is over and above the regular maintenance that I do.

Yep 412 is the stroker I'm looking at. Brings it to a 6.7L and 750+ horse power. I'm too looking at the procharger kit. Just depends on how hard core I'm wanting to build.
