Default Mod after 36,000 miles

What are the pros and cons of modifying after 36,000 miles or so? Would like to add some hp to the car but don't want to spend the money just yet (that's code for biding my time with the wife ).

No cons, just grow a set and mod it to make yourself happy. Just don't tell the wifey about it. That is what I do I can tell you my wife spend are buys stuff and don't tell me.

Was talking to the wife about it and she's leaning more towards not caring. I do have to finish a couple of projects for us (her), before I can spend another dime, lol.

Forgot to mention I already have close to 18,000 miles on the car, almost 15 months old.

Not mechanically inclined so basically I want something along the lines of "set it and forget it". Saw this twin turbo kit in another thread and am interested. http://uppturbo.com/parts/upp-c7-twin-turbo-kit/

Still reading up as I am a newb:

Got to keep the wife happy. I just put a blower on my car, 6K on the clock. Now it's broke and I can't seem to get an appt with the installer...wife is VERY unhappy = double whammy
