Re: What to do next?!
What year is this? What do you want to do to it? I can tell you what I'd do (after I took off the wing
 ), but what you want to do is all up to you. I just installed a supercharger on my '04, I would personally suggest forced induction. The GM kit I installed is no longer available, but there is aftermarket stuff. If that's the route to go, I think I know someone who can give a lot more advice there than I can. If you plan on using the boost much, get bigger brakes first. I had to go out of my intended order of upgrades when I got a chance to buy one of the last GM kits. On a related note, I warped the rotors on my car today testing out the new recalibration for the supercharger. So really do go with brakes before boost! Larger brake kits are available, or you can do a"N+W+F" conversion http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.ph...=99830&t=99830 . That will just depend on your mechanical ability. The kits look very easy, and the N+W+F conversion looks like it would take 4-6 hours. That's coming from a professional automotive technician with every conceivable tool, so the N+W+F may take a lot longer than that. The 4-6 hours is including replacing the lower control arm bushings with poly bushings while it's that far apart. Sometimes you can beat them out with a hammer, but before we got a press, it could take hours to get one single bushing out. Classicrocjunkie wrote a how-to that's "stickied" at the top of this forum.

Re: What to do next?!
How deep are your pockets, and what are you looking out of your car? That is the first question you need to ask yourself.
Boost isn't cheap, but you'll almost shit yourself when you realize what it can do. I know jason is probably addicted to it already. Ha ha..

If you can afford boost, I strongly recommend it!
