Are you guys/gals doing any winter modding out there? My brother is buying me a MR vortex generator, I am powdercoating my wheels, and possibly "redding" the tails.

Catback is coming in spring!

I've got 272 sitting in my house but it is WAAAAY too cold to install them right now. Im waiting for at least 30's before i throw them in. I also have to do fuel pump at the same time and maybe cam gears too.
cfaber, who is putting them in for you, or are you doing it.

Looks like 272's are a popular install this winter. I'm also getting them installed with crower springs and ti retainers as well as a 255 fuel pump a LICP and a set of lowering springs. And maybe later this winter a 10.5 hotside.

Here are my winter "mods," but I don't think this is what you were asking about ;-)
De-tuned SAFC for cold temps
Hankook "Ice Bear" snow tires
Took out mini battery and put stock back in so the car actually starts on cold mornings
