And as far as the list goes, nothing there to really increase that much in HP. Most of the mods there are for getting the power to the ground. Get the rear end if you don't have one already since you have a stick.

only thing on that list of suspension and drivetrain mods that would give any kinda increase in hp is....heads, CIA, tbody, and EWP. for your first mods, i would go with the Cold air induction, then some rear end gears, then work on everything else. if your on the budget i would get some ported stock heads and a cam, along with all the suspension and drivetrain to support it.
