TIRES all these suggestions are great to add power to a car that already overpowers the tires. I'm waiting for my set of DR's to arrive, maybe then I won't have to wait for 4th to go WOT without the tail coming out. I suggest you do the same.

All that power means nothing if you can't drive. Driver-Mod should always be the first priority.

Let's be honest, "Driver Mod" is fun to recommend but the question is not "How Can I be a Better Driver." You have no idea who you are replying to in any given thread, he might as well be Nico Rosberg for all you know and he's finally allowed to buy his dream car after retirement.

for me and especially if you are in a cold climate its TIRES; they are also weight reduction.
then tint
lower on the stock screws
doesnt 'need' anything else, you already have yourself a pretty bad *** ride.

but the 'want's will get ya! $$$

I prefer Halltech myself, aFe is a good intake as well. When it comes to certain visual things I'm a less is more kind of guy, I like the simplicity of the Halltech... and the performance obviously.

I mostly meant on your list, I figured you'd rank one in the top 5 especially with those other mods. I have an AFE myself because the blue filter matches my car(Laguna blue)....I figured I could make up the moderate difference with other mods if needed...lol

What good is it if you can't put this power down? Start at the bottom and work your way up.

CAI....Some like the AFE, some like the Halltech.

My list is

1. CAI....easy and quick install for added horsepower
2. Drag radials or slicks if you're taking the car to the strip
3. Long tube headers and high flow cats and midpipe (I count this as one mod to do all at one time)
4. Pulleys
5. Dyno tune

If manual, add a MGW shifter first along with the CAI.

No one has mentioned a flex fuel conversion. Isn't that supposed to be one of the best bangs for your buck?

Very nice. Don't suppose you could provide a break down of the cost of that setup? Obviously install prices are going to vary by location, but just to give a general idea per item. What you've got was pretty much my plan, minus headers.

I like this list the best! Probably a tune needed, but can I do this setup without meth?
