Default What next for bolt ons

I now have my lt's and tsp duals and o2 sims on today along with the previous chip, cold-air, and MAF. I just need an opinion on what to do next. Remember im a college student with a limited amount of money. Also what kind of hp do you think im running with now.

I'd say in somewhere in the 320-335 range.

What "chip"
and did you mean, cold air = Lid, or Free ram air mod, or Fast toys ram air, or SLP flow-pack?

As far as the rest goes, you have a 01' correct? That means you already have LS6 intake. Is it M6 or A4?

I'd go P&P TB, pullies (maybe), then suspension/drivetrain parts to prep for H/C. If A4 go stall/shift kit/cooler. If M6 go clutch/flywheel/drill mod. oh and gears for either.

Well, for the bolt-ons, I would say definately either port & polish your TB or buy one that is already done. Usually you can tell the difference in throttle response immediately, although it doesn't give you huge HP gains. Like 3...

This isn't necessarily a bolt-on, but a stall would be what I recommend next. That would totally free the car up.

i second that, stall and tranny cooler (both at once ) , underdrive pulley , port your throttle body.

if you havent already done this with your "cold air intake" a SSRA or FTRA ...

My vote goes towards a gear, it is inexpensive and really wakes the car up, especially if it had the 2.73
