Also get a steeda quadrant and clutch adjuster or you will be fixing that 3650. If you dont believe me ask anyone her who breaks things.

A stock quadrant will make the clutch hott and cause you to miss gears then you will break the synchros. thats why you need it also with the short shifter

shifter doesn't make you shift better, it makes the shifts shorter and allows you to shift faster. They are very easy to install and you should even have a little cash left over.

i'd go for a tri ax if you have a 5 speed. Also plenum and t/b gives a pretty good gain. Nice throttle responce and up top power.

a shifter wont make you shift better it will make it easier to shift. the tri ax is spring loaded 2-3 so basicly you just push up. Once you drive a car with a shifter you cant go back. The stock shifter is to sloppy feeling. That is why people say it will make you shift better

oh yea go with a tri ax. The mgw is a great every day shifter but if the car is going to see any racing stay away. That shifter sucks for powershifting

If you want anything appearance related you could go for a Mach 1 chin spoiler.

Where are you guys getting a Throttle Body and Plenum for under $250? The C&L Plenum looks to be about $180, but a good Throttle Body is more expensive, isn't it? An Accufab will run you $230 from what I've seen.

Am I completely misled on the pricing, or do you guys have a good source for these components?
