Message	myself. I say, "Self, Why not get the low profile mounts? Sure. While I'm doing it I might as well get the 2.5" piping. If I'm doing the piping, I should really get the Massives intercoolers. It is only a little more for full 3" exhaust and I'll need wide bands. I have a 16 bit ecu, so maybe go to Haltech type engine management. JWT 500 cams would really give it that extra pop and 4.10 gears would be fun. Hmmm, all that extra power will mean I need a kick ass brake package, and might as well do upper and lower control arms. Oversized throttle bodies? Definitely. What about sound? Really need some bad ass sound for this thing... Wait! Stop! Get it running and get it running strong so you can drive it this year. It will be more fun than it has ever been since you got it plus you'll still be able to afford the gas to put in it and a college education for your kids." Have to draw the line.
