Default Gotta go with the ported TB and lid as your first mods.

I did the lid a week ago and just put on a ported TB today(thanks pirate3). Wow! The ported TB is a must do mod. It might only give around 5-8 rwhp but the throttle response difference is the big improvement. I guess the ridge in the stock TB is really that bad for air flow. My car feels completely different with the new TB so I'm real happy with it. The lid helps airflow and also cleans up the engine compartment big time. I'd love to do headers but I doubt I will since the car is a daily driver and I have to deal with speed bumps every day.

I thought about doing it myself, but I found it for sale here already ported and I'm glad I went that route.
