I second the headers, ory and stall. Do you just have a drop in k&n if so I would recomend a cai also.

Yea the only thing I have on the intake side is a drop in K&N and descreened the MAF. My goal was to get most of the "big" things out of the way. Like Gears, LT's, ORY, and then take care of the intake side a bit.

Yea but with full exhaust your motor will still be breathing through a straw, I would highly suggest a cai before gears, headers, ory and stall. Because even though you have a drop in k&n filter that is hardly doing anything, have you ever looked at the factor airbox on our cars? They are so horribly designed that it is not even funny.

If you're not planning to lower it, I'd get LTs and a custom true dual setup. That's what I'd like, but my car's probably too low.

Intake and basic exhaust first, why blow your money on full exhaust if your car breathes like it has asthma? I'd say exhaust first (catback, or even just a cutout) and then throw on a cold air kit, you'll feel it in your pants.

I agree on the CAI...definately needed. But after that?....LTs ORY? I mean. I have SLP CatBack, 4.10s, and Tune, so what logically comes in after that. As for money, at the moment, probably about $1,200 Bucks, and then a couple hundred a month I can throw at it maybe after that. Long term, I am hoping to get maybe the LE2 Heads & Cam in early 2007.

I would suggest the mods in this order, cai, lts & ory, stall 3200ish at least then start working on suspension mods like lower control arms, torque arm ect... Because what good is power if you cant put it to the ground? Also if you are still on the stock 10 bolt your time is limited especially if you are going to get some sticky tires.
