If you're serious about hanging on to your car, I would suggest bullet proofing your tranny, get a www.levelten.com job done (full valve body, clutches, plates) it'll run you about 2000$ and then supercharge or turbo the thing.... we're talking about 5G's.

that's my two cents.

 

i appreciate all the info. yes i am serious about my car. in the way of what i've done to her, well it's mostly in the stereo. i have ALOT of extreme dynomat in the car. triple layer in the doors, double in the trunk, single on the floor. 2 ga. power, upgraded battery, alternator hopefully next spring. 3 american bass 10's digital bass amp, SQ 500 for my 6.5's in the front & 5.25 mid bass's in the rear. i love the car & can' t afford another for a little while. i'm always researching for the next upgrade though.
thanks again for all the info man!
