my winter goal is to not wreck my truck this will be the first winter I've drove it since I got it. I'm used to driving winter beaters and beating the crap outta them and hitting snow banks. other then that, I still have to paint my roll pan and put it on in the spring. and maybe get a cowl hood, but we'll see.

1) Replace PPH headers/single exhaust with Black Jet-Hot Coated Spintech Headers & Spintech dual exhaust
2) Powder coating time! M1-4bbl, valve covers, AC/Alt bracket, plus every other engine bay bracket made of metal will be pulled and taken to Vegas Powdercoating to be processed with black hammertone powder coating.
3) All engine bay bolts will be replaced with polished allen heads from MMS
4) All fluid caps & handles will be swapped for billet replacements
5) Reduce engine bay clutterby re-organizing most of the wires/hoses - did this to a certain extent with my 03 CC R/T, going to take it further with this truck.

hey 5 speed, how is that hughes TB working out for you? I plan on getting a stage one TB for my 2001 3.9 in the spring. Since 3.9's and 5.2's respond to mods about the same, maybe you could tell me what you noticed. Right now I have the hughes stage one intake manifold, hopefully they'll work well together.

beautiful piece, good throttle response and noticeable midrange gain its expensive but you get what you pay for. alot of people will tell you to buy a fastman but in my opinion everything is second to the hughes, i have a pic of it in my gallery
