A couple of questions for you...What is a check valve and where did you get your steel braided flex lines for the front and do they make them for the rear, and if so why haven't you done them as well? Or are they worth doing the rears???

the stock PCV valve sucks and leaks, the Check valve is a one way valve and fixes that boost leak. it goes inbetween the intake manifold and the PCV valve. i would also invest in a catch can when you do your check valve. Bwoody sells them for $24 BWoody Performance Products

you can use the steel braided brake lines from SRT-4s
as well as the f/r brake pads, f/r rotors.

when it comes to the back i havent found any steel lines for it yet other wise i'd already done them.

for an intercooler you can go over to PTcrew.com and one of the guys over there makes bigger intercoolers but he uses your stock endtanks or you can buy a universal one and try and fit it.

Intercooler Question
5th post down.

and what else i suggest is what ever direction you want to go. wether you want suspention, power or looks.

Yes, go to ptcrew.com as they have people at all different levels of performance. Right now the only power mod you have is stage 1.
