Too many nice kits too choose from on here. I suggest to get more specific goals, do some searching and aks more questions when you know it is exactly what you want. Or call up a knowledgeable sponsor. Check out the OFI thread in this section, I wish I could get my hands on one. 1000 bucks off the base kit and would be more than enough for you

Two big companies are APS for twin front mount and STS for rear mount. I have been in sts lt1 and ls1 cars and they worked pretty good. I went front mount as my APS twin was very reasonably priced I thought and the sts are bit overpriced. I like to stick to the big name companies.Lost 2000 bucks to company called GMR speed last year,they were sponsor and had good rep but went down supposedly from partnership war. APS and STS have both been around a long time. APS shipped my kit ahead of schedule! And looks to be very high quality. Comes with intercooler and don't need to give up your air conditioning. No scavenger pump simplifies the system a bit too.
Its a tuner kit though, no tuning..I use hp tuners and no fuel system included. I will be going with think aps fuel system. Also they shoudl replace the worm clamps with t bolt and mabye could throw in some nicer blow off valve options. The plastic blow offs might work ok but they look cheap.
The older sts kits have not the best ground clearance.thought sts has improved that in the newest designs. Sts also lets you keep air and headers and no relocation and easy to work on engine.Hurt ground clearance a bit on the older design and has scavenger pump. It sounds great thouh,buddies sts sounds great. Not sure how legal it is some places though with no muffler.
