I know there are a million threads on here about top mods for the buck and what not...I am wondering what is top mods...not including supercharger/nos that one can install with basic hand tools..I know tb/plenum and air intake, but what else is there that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get installed..Im a college student with spare money here n there...so parts can come whenever, but I only want to do things that I don't need to get installed..I was thinking the Mac H pipe and LTs but heard LTs= HELL..any input guys would be greatly appreciated... :SNSign:

Short throw is a great idea, handheld engine programmer such as Diablo Predator or SCT XCal2 is also a good idea.

If you want to spend money on your car some basic preventitive maintenance never hurts either

Gears are a stretch with simple hand tools, but would be on the top of my list.

Suspension is a good idea. Makes driving a lot more fun. First, short throw.

MGW shifter. Lowering springs and new shocks/struts. New clutch if yours is old.
