Okay I've been a good student and I've searched and read and read and read but I still don't know what to do next. :chairfall:

My mods so far are a Steeda triax, Pypes Muffler delete, JLT CAI(not installed), a 4.56(not installed), and I have a diablo I just need a tune for. But where should I go next? I've got six hundread or so dollars to spend right away. At first I was thinking of saving for cams and that is the long term plan but I was wondering if I could get a better bang for my buck with some other mods. Under drive pulleys? Headers? Intake? I plan on keeping the car N/A. I'm going to be doing a set of cobra jet springs and a rear seat delete kit soon too.

How would you spend my money?

I think I'd be looking to get the parts installed and a tune done up first thing. Then, start working on your suspension to meet your eventual power goals. Also, remember that with more power, you'll need better brakes too. Just something to think about.

No need for the FRPP/C&L intake if you are staying NA
No need for the rear seat delete, they are very light as is...spend the money elsewhere.

To install the 4.56 gears you gotta have a different cross pin and its on back order everywhere until november the 5th. I wanted to get the tune done with the gears and cai at the same time.

For $600 you could get UDP's, delete plates, and o/r midpipe. All things you could put on yourself in the garage and would wake the car up with a tune.

Not exactly true, the other way, and many say it is the stonger way, is to use a carbide bit and trim the inner edge of the ring gear allowing the stock full circle pin to be installed, your choice, I trimmed mine, and used the stock pin

Headers would be my next investment....then UDPs, then CMCV deletes......those mods are good prep for the cams.

Also with the 4.56s, you'll want to add some LCAs

+1, 1 trip to the drags killed mine with the 4.56, at the end of the day I couldn't even burnout in the box without getting wheel hop...
