if you have an 03-04, or a 05-06 5at with the nonrevup engine, then a motordyne 5/16" spacer is the best bang for the buck performance mod. If you have a 05-06 6mt with the revup engine, then the MREV2 + 5/16" spacer is your best bet

Save up and go FI.

Or get a z-tube. 5/16th spacer, and K&N drop in filter.

Thers a bunch of good FI kits.

Turbo....
Turbonetics
Greddy
JWT

Supercharger...
Vortech
Stilen


One thing I found when I went FI is that alot of the NA parts come with the FI kits intake, testpipes, ect.

FI is abig job, but for the money its the best bang for the buck.

Well if you add up all the money you would spend on NA mods, you will see that you spend alot of money for not that much extra hp.

Na mods don't really add that much extra hp, but when you go FI you get huge gains.

With a turbo you do get lag, but its not bad at all.

The TT kits have almost no lag, and I enjoy the lag on my ST becasue once it spools the car goes like a rocket.
