Yeah dont listen to AJ turbo first. and once you get the turbo your gonna want to get those coilovers so do what i did and just buy piece by piece until you get all thats needed.

Yeah your gonna need one of those to monitor your oil temp and pressure i have one for my car so its a real good investment IMO.
looks like at the 185k im at I personally dont feel comfortable boosting it (even tho i want to so bad). ill hold off for that until motor needs rebuild and do it all at once with an aftermarket solid kit instead. for now ill focus on finishing the looks/suspension.
interior getting done soon

Just a heads up, I supercharged with no rebuild at 167000 miles. And the motor has shown no signs of wear since. It also only cost me about 700$. Less than turbo by a lot. Let me know if you have any questions... Oh and I'm making very similar numbers to a msp, lightly nodded while I'm at 3 psi, and can turn the blower off. The restrixtion in airflow when off actually helped my fuel economy.
yeah i wanted to SC to be different and i miss the whine from the SS i had. but with sc as far as I read you cant run ac and i need ac in tx :/ smh yeah i mean idk i wanna boost 5psi most for now. nothing for power just have boost and bov lol

If you want to keep your AC then just run a nice turbo setup, take your time and do things properly and you will save money in the long run no point in rushing to have boost and changing things to make it run properly..
Did you figure out the rails for your seats yet? and what are your covering in the plaid?
^ true thats y ill be waiting. and doing a full aftermarket set up only oil fed. and yeah ill order the ones you showed me just need to measure the lenght/width of brackets to send them with the order. and for the plaid sorta what OG sker guy did. He beat me to it lol, front pillars, seat belt pillars and probably the mirror for now. then the side of the doors black and the headliner black im thinking
so I want real bride seats and found a nice set locally but decided to not get them and sell the bucket seats i have now. I will not purchase anything else thats a big about until I HAVE THE air ride. so thats the only thing ill buy anytime soon when I can. Have to dedicate my self to it and stop talking about it lol. its really what i want so the goal is to have it by early march if not earlier.

If they are originally made by MattV I would open it and make sure it was done properly and not rushed to finish. Its not that hard to do and would give you piece of mind.
link to how he did them...
