    Don't waste you're money on the body kit, they are fiberglass, cost a lot of money unpainted, cost a lot of money to get fitted and half the time they wont even line up properly. If they do line up properly give it a few months and you will start seeing it cracking from where you are hitting everything. Don't waste you're time gapping spark plug leads, what tool told you to do that? It all depends if you are on you're P's or not.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!

    *Face Palm*

    Ok another newbie..... It's not a chip upgrade but a tuned Memcal. If you want one contact The1, Greenfoam or Delcowizard and they will hook you up with one. Just tell them the modifications done to you're car
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!

    The ChipTorque performance memcal is provided with tuning modifications to deliver increases in acceleration by improving and correcting ignition and fuel curves to deliver the best torque no matter what modification your vehicle has installed. Upgrading the factory ECU, as opposed to the use of an aftermarket ECU, means that all of the nice “factory” driveability is retained, particularly on light throttle and highway cruise, to deliver the best all round result in performance and economy. Specialising in tunes to suit engine modifications such as camshaft, head porting, manifold or fuel injector upgrades, ChipTorque can customise your vehicle’s program to recalibrate transmission gear shift points (VR-VT only), cooling fan control and rev limiters to achieve the best power and torque. For VR - VT we can set up an automatic ECU and wiring loom to work with a manual transmission conversion and remove the vehicle speed sensor if necessary. Additionally we can accommodate the changes required for engine conversions including removal of the vehicle anti-theft system to bypass the body control module.

    If you want more power and torque without compromising the quality and smoothness of power delivery that the “Factory” engine management calibration offers, ChipTorque has the programming solution that no one else can match. ChipTorque have an extensive history with the Delco computer system running your vehicle, having supported this system since 1993. This means we have provided a Performance Chip for almost every combination of vehicle modifications. Through many hours of dyno testing and program development by ChipTorque’s R&D team, we can unleashed the total performance potential of your vehicle.

    dont worry champ im a newbie aswell
