Whee, just got my lightning!

This is my third vehicle and after the first test drive (1hour) I knew I couldn't go back to my 97 s-10.
I've been checking out these forums and seen the general ideas for mods.
I got the lightning with 30k on it at excellent condition for 21.5...

So far, I'm looking at getting these modifications in no specific order:
-chrome Headers and back full exhaust replacement.
-eibach pro-kit complete lowering system
-diablo predator tuner
-yellow top optimo battery (gonna be the first upgrade after my sound system replacement)
-cold air intake (still deciding on which one)
-pulley (hmmmmmm)
-denso platinum plugs
-boost bypass valve

Anyone have any suggestions or things I should add to this list?

Yeah.

C.I.A
Single bore TB
4-5-0r 6lb. lower crank pulley from Johnny Lightning
boost bypass
oil breather cap
get it tuned by Sal of Power Surge or JDM.
Bassani or Mangnaflow silverbullet exhaust.
and Denso Plugs.

this should get you in the 12s.

Thanks KCFD408RT,

Do you have a link for single bore TB? I went looking for a few minutes and came up with a couple euro sites...
As for the pulley, I've seen that pushing it up alot leads to throwing a rod or two. So I'll look into that before I decide on 4,5, or 6#.

For this vehicle I told them to keep the warranty because I planned on voiding it.
