Mod bug hit.what to do next?

So, far I have a Stillen CAI, z-tube, and a grounding kit. What should I go with next? Since I am new to these cars I need all the help I can get performance wise. I already have sticky rubber so I dont need that. I have plenty of ideas for the exterior, just need help with performance.

The car isnt going to see alot of track time at all. Mostly just driving around town, but I would like to have the power there if needed!

Thanks in advance!

^+1, and high flow cats. Then springs and shocks. Then camber kits. Then sway bars...wheels...supercharger...maybe a turbo instead...

It's never enough!

Is there a difference between the Motordyne and Skunk 2? I was told one time that the Skunk 2 was better...any truth?

almost everyone here will advise you to get the md 5/16" or 1/2" md (iso thermal) plenum spacer

lol thats just the way it works here

if u go with skunk 2, i dont think you have a choice in it being a "stealth" mod. if you go motordyne you can get 5/16" which can be stealth or 1/2" which is not stealth.

by stealth i mean you can put the engine cover back on and to anyone else it will look stock..

skunk 2 is cheaper i think..although i have no experience with skunk 2 i have no regrets whatsoever with md 5/16" iso thermal spacer

worth every penny!

hope that helps

also, you may want to look into motordynes mrev line as well..but i dont know much about those..

suspension mod is anything but boring...

i love my tokico shocks and springs...take some sweeping turns on the freeway, or a quick drive thru some twisties... its a lot more exciting than just going fast and straight

btw how exciting is that 5AT 2fastG354u...lol
