It would seem that anytime we tow anywhere, it's up 4,000 ft over the mountain and back down. SoCal will do that to you. My implementation list is a follows:
1. Air filter-K&N (sorry, that's prior to my finding this forum), didn't do squat.
2. Exhaust- 4", generic w/flowthru muffler, saw an increase of 2mpg towing
3. gauges- ready to be installed
4. Chip tuner- it's a Superchip 1705 ( was passed on to me), ready to be installed.
5. tranny cooler-Trucool 4739, to be installed as soon as UPS delivers it.
Here's the questions- I'd like to install an HPX line. Which one to get ? Rigid stainless or flex ?
How about BTS valvebody vs. Sonnax valve and Tricumulator springs ?
As always please feel free to spend my money freely.
thanks

2. Exhaust - Cant go wrong with MBRP I fell i love with the clips Kwikkordead has in his sig and will be ordering a Mark Romriell 5 " system in the next couple of weeks.
3. WW - if you are staying with a stock exhaust it will scream louder and spool up a little faster
4. Gauges - Autometer and Dipricol make good gauges
5. BTS VB - Brian builds them right if money is unlimited I would go with a full tranny/TC
6. DP Chip - No need to say more but I have heard that tony wildmans tunes are pretty good also
BANKS - $$$$$ they love their products

I installed the flex line and I will be changing to the rigid. If this line leaks or bursts you will quickly loose your oil. At 450-3,000 psi that oil comes out fast.
