STOP RIGHT THERE BRO !!!!!

Dont touch a single thing till you have a goal in what you final out come will be or you'll end up wasting money like crazy

wanna stay N/A or go FI is a big one ! decide that first
then what you want your end HP to be
then how much money your willing to spend ( personally unless this car has decently low miles I wouldnt screw with mods. IMO )
then start deciding if you wanna keep ur split port or go windstar swap
tuner
dual exhaust
gears w/ a tlok or GT 8.8 rear
cam
UDP's


also decide exterior mods, such as, if you wanna drop the car and want to put a 8.8: perfect time to do both at the same time, I got my rotors turned and put in new brake pads when I got my 8.8.
want a GT rear bumper, well dont get your dual exhaust then later get the GT bumper cause if you do you will probably want to get your pipes adjusted to fit the bumper.
another example I wanna give is this: <100$ is AM CAI, not much power, different sound, but if you wanna go windstar swap one day, then that CAI was a waste of money

Effective turbo requires a good cam.

LoL he said $100 and you suggest cam and turbo...

Honestly for $100 save it. Start a mods fund, and when you have 5k do a bunch at once.

+1 to the save and do alot at once, you will feel the difference better that way !!!

just do like i said man, research, find out what mods are good and bad, find out what you want your goal to be and how you need to get there ! While doing that SAVE MONEY!!!!!

At the top of threads is a list of "Sticky" threads, their is one on mods their, read up.
then use the search option to look up more info on those mods. got a Q, its probably been asked, do your best to find the answer and if you just cant ask...
