Brand New to this

Don't know any shops in your area, but you should definitely get it tuned by a pro... 4.10 gears, lightweight driveshaft, aluminum flywheel and heavy duty clutch, drag radials, full exhaust. Do not red line the engine without a tune from a pro. Don't get it tuned until you have the exhaust replaced. The crap in my sig is all good. You don't need all of it, but the tune is highly recommended. These motors will blow fast with any detonation. If you get the other goodies it will only make it quicker.

By the way, the list goes on and on.

you NEED the full kit
you NEED a tune
you probably need a CAI
you NEED tires
you'll probably want exhaust as well.

I guess it depends on how much you wanna spend.
