Currently has a Magnaflow catback and Jet Performance Products chip. Plans are to upgrade the suspension. Looking at UMI performance for that. Also want to get a ram air hood, different wheels and tires. To compliment the Magnaflow catback I'm looking at Speed Engineering long tubes and Y-pipe, a cold air intake. Will be researching for some other engine mods also.

Some appearance mods I'm looking at are the Trufiber 93-97 Firebird WS6 Style Ram Air Hood and thinking of painting ot like the second hood pic with the blue color from the 73 Trans Am 455 SD. Rims I'm looking at are OE Wheels Corvette C5 Z06 Replicas wrapped in Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance tires.

I thought I read that you can use HP tuners software to tune it and anyone that tunes with HP can tune it for you.

SS, couldn't you just do the pin out on a regular 0411 pcm out of an Express or the like? In the event it bricks.

You COULD, in theory, just repin to a full 24x setup and run the OEM 0411 PCM. (Assuming you had the torquehead sensors setup and that PCM bricked)
But you better be good at reading/understanding schematics.
Or, be super cool and just swap to a holley :)

Whats the Holley thing you talk about?

Once you have the 24x sensors on the motor, you can run any aftermarket Holley setup basically. Cheapest is the terminator X system right now.
Downside is you lose the factory dash if you do not add some custom wiring.
