Doing my uppies
Getting ready to do my up pipes in a couple of weeks,just wondering,what else should I do while I'm right in there?The truck is a stocker right now but,after it's running sound and no more issues I would like to do some mods as money becomes available.One thought that comes to mind is a wicked wheel.What do you guys think?

While you there, get pedistal o rings, two sets, one for the bottom and one for the top. youll have your turbo out anyways. Also, good time for CCK, ATS housing, exhaust if you dont already have it. It would have helped to not have the down pipe there when i did mine. which was just yesterday. HPX would also be a little simpler while you have it tore apart. If your gong to get injectors one day, maybe a new turbo if its in the budget?
