K, heres the deal. So far I have an AFX UDP, AEM CAI, and an Apex Dunk cat-back. I also have plugs and knock off performance wires. Whats my logical next step? Headers and a cat? What benifit do cam gears provide? I refuse to get nitro after the F&F, there is no respect left there. I'm open to any naturaly aspirited suggestions. Also, I have an auto, is there anything I can do to increase performance there short of a swap to manual? thanks

Hehe I have some ugly wheel gap too. Especially after I painted my rims gunmetal, the rims do look smaller and the wheel gap is even more noticeable. But oh well, not worth it to lower my coilovers and scrape my front all the time...

With an auto, all motor is kind of a waste, you need EVERY BIT OF POWER you can get and the slushbox sucks it up. If I had an auto, a stage 1 turbo would be my first mod.

Well man to be completely honest with you I would not spend a dime on anything than if you want real performance. Intake $200, headers $350, exhaust $400, UDP $160....Well that adds up and if you stop buying cheap items just save for the turbo or NOS. Thats the only way that you will be able to hang with the faster cars. I was auto too so I know.

Wreck your auto and buy a stick.
If that isn't an option, i really wouldn't waste your money on anythign other then saving up for a turbo. I have an auto and i've dont just about all the bolt ons. It's not worth it.
