    I said cold air intake because there was no option for snorkel. Right now I picked up a second trooper that has no rust problems. So I plan to get a bunch of work done to it and then put the goodies like my lockers and drive train into it. During that time the snorkel and cat back will be done.

      I think except for tuning, I'm pretty much done.

        I am getting a cam but since I sold the SC
        I don't know if I am going to get a MP90 from greg or go hi compression
        Depends on back pay and how long it takes
        And have 4t65e-hd that needs a rebuild too

          Haha, wait till I put another one on here, need one more for "proof of concept" or something like that.

          Anyway, the mods, probably all of the above, keep chipping away.

            I know what you mean ! had a rough time last year and still not back to normal
            So it will be spring before it all goes down anyway
            Just don't get rid of those castings and patterns for the mount etc

              now and next spring not sure on that one..re-evaluating my car situation.. haven't touched let alone drive the GA in a year. performance was my main goal but i can't see paying for insurance,registration and inspection on something that only sits in a garage and doesn't get used.

                im not certain how your state works, I do know here I can drop the car insurance down to a storage policy. It can cover things such as; fire, theft, damages (break in & glass) / flood, & have replacement or stated value return. All in which will keep the registration valid/renewable preventing lapse.
                It is far cheaper than your typical policies. Just I know here its inflated more so than other areas due to being no fault.

                  Hoping on transmission work this fall/winter. Also maybe some port work on the 3100 heads and toss a turbo specific cam in.

                    Going to LX9 swap and F23 swap a 2000 malibu ls. Hopefully by spring I will have acquired all the parts to get it started.

                      I've had a TGP a year now. Definitely want to a larger turbo than the old T25. Would maybe consider internal engine work, but I don't think the gen 2 motor is probably the best candidate for that, even if there's even anything offered or swappable.
