Don't worry about changing the TB or getting the programmer. Instead, spend some money on a real tune, bigger cam, and some 1.6rr's. Also, you can get about any of the more popular Comp Cams on WS6Store for $245, to save a few bucks.

Later on I will put headers when I dont drive it year round and when I do that I will put a new exhaust on it.I just didnt know it you had to have a tune done for the mods I listed up.(tb bypass, t-stat, air foil, CAI).Im want something I can drive daily year round right now but also take it to the track run an ok time.Like mid to low 13. I kinda hoping that those mods would get me there.Or it might be wishful thinking. I duno you tell me.
yea you dont need a tune now. I would wait until further mods are done in the future but like I said a tune always helps. I was running low to mid 13's with Long Tubes, ORY, GMMG, and a CAI so now your late 13's most likely but should hit your goals with some headers.
