Hmm did I see the first mod in the list correctly? LOL these things are gonna go like wildfire after CARB!
Maybe all the people here should send CARB threatening email pass these or else.... face the wrath of countless third gen V6 owners! LOL

That's cool, Dan! Doing the water pump isn't a long/hard job, just a pain in the butt scraping the ancient gasket off the timing chain cover. The chain cover is aluminum and it gouges easily. I use a gasket sealant on the pump gasket to help it seal after any gouges in the chain cover's sealing surface. I use Permatex "high-tack" red, in a little can with a brush in the lid.. I get it from Pep Boys for $3.
Digital EGR; maybe you can get one from a junkyard for cheap.
Might I suggest, in your future mod list, to do the cold air intake right after the cat-back? And good move on keeping the MSD box for last, you won't notice much (if any) of an improvement with it. You'd see more from rebuilding the distributor yourself ($80 in parts) and putting on "just" an aftermarket high-voltage coil ($30-$50).
