JMHO You can never have too much horsepower! So stop when your car scares you or when you don't have the money for more mods!

Depends on what your budget is. Anything that requires a new rear end and transmission upgrades is going to really hurt the wallet and begins to be borderline undriveable on a daily basis.

Of course a lot of that is matter of personal taste/opinion too.

I would do minor little things, but be warned once u start ur car will never be the same.

I have not driven mine for 2 years now, becasue i took it too far and do not have the $$$ to keep it together for more than a few weeks then somthing else breaks...i would give anything to have my car stock again and all my cash back(easy30k in car). Of cours 1 nice unevenfull ride in her makes everything worth it...lol
