rear bumper
rear bumper reinfrcment
trunk lid
2 taillights
the trunk needed to be pushed downward outword and in wards all at the same time
it has new paint from the drivers door back
from there i thought it would just be little things i needed to do like the bend in the engine hood like someone forced it shut with tools in there or something so i took it back to the body shop cometo find out when the car was rearendded it went off the roda and his so hard on the front right tire that snapped the right strut tower in half
i had a new muffler added nothing fancy just one from a pontiac dealer ship and new brake pads on the front

105# valve springs
reprogrammed pcm
3.4 inch sc pully
fwi

pushrods
180 tstat
sparkplugs
8.5mm sparkplug wires
what im woundering is what is this setup gunna setme back and aslong as a person knows what there doing with the proper tools it should not be that hard to make all the changes happen...

Hello and welcome to the club.

As for your list, What rockers are you planning on running?
New pushrods will not be needed
The Belden wires from Napa have a lifetime warranty and a lot of people run them here and like them
For the PCM, it is best to have a custom program

I would suggest doing a good tune up, replace the O2 sensors and check the ca before doing a lot of mods. Replace the fuel filter and PCV valve while at it.

Feel free to start a new thread in the performance and brainstorming area or even the 1992-199 area with your mechanical questions.

again, welcome to the club.
