Hello from Northfield MN, from a Minnesota Mopar girl!

That is a good thing to keep in mind for sure! I do have already have the k member to switch to an 8 ... but I know a lot of other things follow along with that ... so It'll be a while until I am ready. But I'd just be going for more power and better sound. I'm just wanting a nice cruiser that sounds a looks good. :)
Yes if you take your time and are a little methodical about it you can have some great results. So it sounds like you have plenty of time to figure things out ask questions and maybe learn from other people's experiences..
