Steps to take.

What should I do? I want modify my 86 IROC. It is presently bone stock. It has a little front end damage and I plan on getting that fixed. But should I wait and do that after mods or what? The mods I plan on doing are exhaust, cat, supercharger and a few other odds and ends. Should they go in any particular order? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I would suggest that you do all your suspension and brake mods first if you plan on doing any. After that do the supercharger,exhaust then the apperance part of the car.

i agree with superman. you must be able to stop b4 u can go! also IMO i would rather go fast and look good later.. so, i'd rather buy hi-po stuff for my car, b4 i'd do cosmetic things to it.
Just my 2cents,
