Need Opinions

I just recieved my 60's and my harness and now i am in a debate in what to do.

Option1: Buy ZZP header/downpipe, aem wideband, then plugs, belt, 2.8" pulley etc.. and have it custom dynoed by some1 on this site

or

Option2: get the AIS meth kit, 2.6" pulley, belt,plugs etc. and have it dynoed by a speed shop, and then in the following month or two getting my wideband, and then my ZZP header/downpipe, then a cobra or cxracing h/e



please put in your input i'll post a poll. My mods are GM Performance Cat-Back, Injen Intake, HST, TTR Tranny mounts.

Did he have race gas? Cause without meth and/or race gas, I don't see how.
And tell him to kiss #4 bye bye for me while its still there.

My suggestion would always be to do the it the safe way, so start with the cooling mods/wideband and be ready for the following mods. Then again I am not the gambling type.

Better safe than sorry I think.
Kind of like casual sex without a rubber, you will always wonder "is this the time I am really going to be sorry?"
