Plans for the old SS, interested in opinions.

Some of you might remember my "SS" 95 Cavy. Well, she's goin under the knife this weekend.

Heres the plan:

-Shorten the throttle cable to decrease the slack and increase response.
-Build a custom Cold Air Intake, with the filter in the bumper, and a bypass valve to prevent water and other crap from gettin in.
-And add a Lakes Pipe setup. Which is a second exhaust pipe out the side before the cat that can be capped and uncapped so that at certain times I can uncap it and run straight pipes.

Any thoughts? Dont tell me not to do it though, because its not going to change anything.

They have these kick ass Bypass Valves for the exhaust that are electonic. You hook them up inline with the exhaust where you would want a straight pipe, and then run the norm exhaust. There is a remote inside the car and you just push a button and it switches. Bad ass

Yah, I know about those, but the electronic ones are uber-expensive. I would love to have one though.

Its really old school to have the kind you uncap though, hot rod style.
