Smile installing my new mods!!!!!

parts have been ordered! lower 6lb pulley, 170 degree thermostat, some NGK TR6 plugs..with a gatorback belt.. and a MAC catback exhaust with JBA headers!! then im taking it to the dyno and getting the chip reburned for the extra 6lbs of boost i will making..do you think it will be ok running a 6lb on the bottom and a 2lb on the top?? the guy i bought if from said i should be ok as long as i get the chip rebunded, thermostat, and plugs...my mods already are 2lb upper, diablo chip, volant cold air intake, and shift kit..so hopefully i will be right at 500hp..what do you guys this? around x-mas time i will getting some new rims (gunmetal with a crome lip) and a 2 inch drop...and sometime or another i will have to get new tires to hold all this power!

Great List of Mod's Leo
You gonna have one Fast-*** Lightning when your done.

6+2 is pushing it a little IMO. But many do run 7-8 lbs of extra Boost with no problems including our newest FFW winner Vinnie (he's been running 8lbs for many many miles) Gator runs a 6 lower + 1-2 Upper also, (Runs 11's comsistantly) but most will agree 6lbs and a good rich tune is plenty safe these days with the excellent knowledge and tunes the tuners have for us.
One thing I would highly recommend is going to a colder plug if you decide to do it (TR-6's ARE NOT cold enough for that Boost)
Run the BRE-7's (or what ever they call them) or Denso IT-22's
