On the list I have:
LED lights (in the process of installing and finding more)
A few aero mods (working on the 7 inch air dam today)
Water mist injection (has to be done before it warms up)
Upgrade to a more powerful electric coolant pump (has to be done before summer)
Install tachometer (before spring)
Convert to LiFePO4 batteries (done before I can turbo)
Install an air compressor system (done before I can turbo)
turbocharging
Regear the diff from 3.08 to 2.83-2.93 (after the turbo)
EDIT: the 3.08 gears were swapped out for 3.42s before I bought it.
Build and install a custom 6 amp solar panel on the roof and find a LiFePO4 charge controller
Get a set of general grabber HT-S 31 inch LLR tires (sometime this year would be nice)
Electric clutch for the P/S-hydroboost brake system
