What MOds would you start off with?

Odd... I thought the MREV did nothing for the other motors, but gained 15lbs of torque while lost about 1.5 - 2 hp on the revup... (at least that's exactly what it did for me) while the MREV 2 would make the same torque gains and also make an additional hp up top on the revup, and actually made hp on the other VQ motors too?

But seriously, as a new owner of a stock G that's been researching here for a while, my plan is the 5/16 plenum spacer of course, then some sway bars, then some Z suspension, then some window tint and single sub for the trunk. Simple, affordable, no down time, should be fun results. Next year I'll get into the more expensive mods. FI is the only way to go for any real power gains but it's a lot of cash at once, so I'll get used to the car for a year, then do something major. Don't get the pulleys, they're BS.

Lowering greatly improves the feel of your car, I'd look into that before power mods, because it helps control the car and keep it planted. You would surprised at how much faster you can drive with an upgraded suspension (carry more speed into turns, etc etc).
If your wheels/tires are the right spec, you should be fine lowering

has anyone tried replacing the doors with carbon fiber doors and a carbon fiber hood...i hear that would decrease a lot of weight..i realize it would be kind of expensive.i really dont know how much..but my only worry is that if its super light..does that mean i open my self up for unsafe drivin conditions if someones hits my door head on...could the carbon fiber take a better hit from the stock door cuz they tell me carbon fiber is much stronger..does anyone agree and tried the doors/hood

With that said, since the parts are mainly fiberglass, and in some cases are just a fiberglass weave to simulate carbon fiber, yes, you've compromised the safety of your car by using these parts. True carbon fiber shouldn't crack or chip away btw... if anything, it'll shatter.
I would stick to suspension. There's no point having 300hp if you can't control it. You'd be surprised how much better your car can handle with a decent suspension. Just remember that good struts shouldn't feel too stiff, and the springs don't have to be really stiff either.

This adds to the coonfusion I'm sure
