-Paxton Novi 2000 Supercharger Kit
-Turbosmart Raceport Blowoff Valve
-Belanger Headers with DEI Heat Wrapping
-Corsa Exhaust (Ceramic Coated Black)
-Custom Billet Triple Fuel Pump Hanger, Walbro 450lph Pumps
-Custom Billet Fuel Rails
-Endless Performance Fuel Line/Fitting Kit Using Redhorse Fittings
-Fuel Injector Development 1300cc Injectors
-Aeromotive Boost Reference Fuel Pressure Regulator and Gauge
-Endless Performance Catch Can Kit Using Redhorse Fittings
-Motion Raceworks Billet Catch Can and Valve Cover Fittings

-Hawk 5.0 Brake Pads
-Custom Painted Calipers and Valve Covers by Jeff Coffey
-ISPCO Short Shifter with Custom Endless Weighted Shift Knob
-HPTuners ECU Calibration from Tori at Unleashed
-Morimoto LED Light Bulbs Throughout Whole Interior/Exterior
In addition to the parts listed above the car then went to Meticulous Auto Body for some TLC and tinted taillights and then made it's way over to Reuben and the team at Endless Detailing for paint correct and ceramic coating.
The goal for this car is an 800whp street car that has upgrades in every area over the stock 1998 GTS...and so far we have succeeded....next up is some car audio upgrades to make it even more enjoyable for those long cruises! This car is truly iconic.
Here is a picture of how it was the day we picked it up in Kansas before driving it back to Wisconsin
