I would not touch the stock 10 bolt unless it was to put a stud girdle cover on it. Gears + 10 bolt + 6 speed = death.

You can probably invest in a lid/filter, SSRA/FTRA setup, catch can (wish i had done it a long time ago), other bolt ons etc.

Did you order O2 extensions with the headers? The "extensions" that come with the pacesetter kit are pretty cheesy, the snap together ones are much better.

proves that the Fast toys ram air is a great mod, i picked mine up in the parts section for $80, definitely a must, the ssra adds another piece onto the ftra to extend it to the bottom of the car, not really sure if it helps that much though ??
