Dont forget about saving some time and money for you Water pump, will definetly break right around 50,000 miles. no joking it happens to everyone.....or is that only happens to 'tours that are made before '99? either way good luck and look in the search before asking questions on the board. Ask about NOS system for the duratec, and youll get yelled at! http://www.myspace.com/mycainsbroken

Originally posted by beyondloadedSE: deknauberize your doors It's "Knauberize" after our local CAP CEGer Bobby Knauber. Good list. Andy, How much are you looking to spend? What is your focus - aesthetics, speed, handling, brakes, balance of all? Daily driver? Take a look at the FAQ and Mods/Parts The Search should be your new best friend. Use it to search the various sections for respective mods. HTH Last edited by SVT ST PETE; 08/20/03 08:40 PM. Capitol CEG Classifieds Make an offer! 2005 GTO IBM - 337hp/336tq

RU-3530 is the P/N for that K&N. If you go this route you need to get a MAF adapter...costs about 30 bucks IIRC. Formerly known as Sneaku I MISS MY BABY!!! '00 Blk CSVT #1087/2150 built 12/23/99

After that, install the Dual Mass Dampener (DMD). You may even want to consider an oil accumulator. Do the "preventive failure" mods first before bumping-up power output.
