just dont buy a chip like hypertech, or a bigger throttle body, or bigger mass airflow sensor. they are all just wastes of money

and your rwhp numbers are? if you run a tb that flows more cfm than what your motor allows, why and how would you see a difference over than what your stocker was capable of?

X2. Start with a cai,catback, headers, tb bypass, maybe some nitto dr, suspension mods, if you cant put the power to the ground!!! Also, make sure the car is tuned up plugs, wires, etc. A stall or gears will also give you a great bang for the buck.
