The only things I wouldnt wanna have to do are
Fuel Guage Sending Relay
Holley 190lb/hr Fuel Pump
Replace 1 Drivers Side Rear Wheel Stud
Eibach Pro-Kit
Weld In Relocation brackets
SLP 3.73's
all the other stuff is basic maintenance for the most part & could all be done in less then a day...from the looks of all that stuff you'll get rapped for over a grand in labor alone.

bill, you just listed teh easier stuff to do as the stuff you wouldn't want to do. LT1 ignition = sucks massive ass to work on.
shocks adn springs are pretty easy, gas tank stuff is simple, just time consuming on 3rd and 4th gens.

Holley 190 pump? wtf, why not a Walbro 255lph? Might as well do it right the first time  .
I'm with the rest of the guys. Do some of it yourself! Just because you're paying for it to get done doesn't mean it's going to be right. The guys working for $ can make just as many mistakes as you... experiences don't increase intelligence and I'll leave it at that.

Weld In Relocation brackets-do you really think alex has a welder?
SLP 3.73's-do you really think hes got all the tools & knowledge to setup a new rear? I dont even have the tools or knowledge(yes I know thats not saying much )
Replace stud-this goes with the gears...rear axle would have to be pulled either way so why not get it done all at once...maybe have them install longer studs all around.
Springs-front spring/shock design changed from 3rd gens to 4th so i dunno how easy the front would be, but your correct in teh back would be simple & straitfoward
Fuel pump-maybe its me but I dont think doing the fuel pump on an fbody is fun...maybe if hes cutting the deck to get to the pump, but otherwise I too would leave that up to someone else to deal with...relay is another fuel part so i just bundled it together.
personally I think they are all valid things to pass on...but when you look around this board there are many members who have changed their opti, plugs, wires on a 4th gen...I've done plugs & wires twice now so I know its a bitch...again have you changed out front springs on a 4th gen or a fuel pump?

I've never changed anything in my life. I have little boy LEGO building hands. Nor do I even have the tools for any of this stuff. Ask Ted, when I attempt to adjust my own head-lights I dont even have the right tools.

Bring it little one. Its not the mods that are going to just bring me out. Its the months of practicing my driving on the mean streets of north new jersey. Plus these mods will help my car run much more efficient then it was when I last ran it.
Im down for Englishtown or Island as soon as I get the car back, and the weather cools down some more at night.

Lets hope you dont blow your stock clutch in the process, since that isnt listed in your upcoming mods
