Are you auto or manual?

Well I would save just about all of it. I would say do the following:

- Underdrive pulley..... $150
- ebay intake........... $40
- port and polished intake manifold (ARD)..... dont remember thr price
- GS-T muffler.......... $20-40


Those are mods you can keep if you decide to go turbo. The cheaper intakes are basically the same as the AEM ones and you will not have wasted very much $$ if u go turbo (since u need to get rid of the CAI).
Same goes for the exhaust.... its very cheap; you can get a full 3" if you go turbo, or else a GST muffler is good enough for N/A. UDP is awesome and the port/polish intake will give a lot more additional improvement if you decide to go turbo, but will still give u a nice boost now.


EDIT: and save the rest

MODS:

HRC 16g turbo kit, Spearco custom FMIC, Custom IC piping, VT rebuilt engine: Custom 8.8:1 compression CP pistons, Eagle connecting rods, Melling oil pump, Clevite bearings, 370cc injectors, Vortech S-FMU, Apexi N-1 catback exhaust, AFX UDP, Autometer boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, EGT gauge, Corbin's digital A/F gauge, Tokico Blue shocks, Tein springs (1.5" drop), 18" Konig Verdicts rims, VIS stock-style Carbon fiber hood

Ok thats cool if you're auto, so am I. Then on the top of your list needs to be the FINAL DRIVE MOD. What it is is a swap of drive gears that have a different ratio. This doesn't actually free up any power, but it is a HUGE improvement. The gearing is changed more towards acceleration.

Search final drive for more info. Its only $98. BEST bang for the buck auto mod PERIOD. They are actually Dodge Sebring drive gears.


Someone here did timeslips in the 1/8 (not 1/4) mile and they had a 0.6 second improvement! That translates to an almost 1 second improvement in the 1/4 mile. I have yet to install mine but its great. add it to the list.



Oh yea, pick up a tranny cooler at any car place so that you save some wear and tear on the auto. Also search the transtar Shift Kit for our trannies... A604/A-604 is the tranny code. It's only $30. Make sure someone who knows what they are doing does it or be careful if YOU do it. Good luck and feel free to IM me or PM me with questions.
