Pretty simple, current stuff is listed below. I just want peoples opinons on what would be a good next mod for my car. My plans were gonna be 4.10s, VT Stage 1 cams, tune and then some more suspension goodies (i.e subs, shock/strut, sway bars, braces and what not). I'm really not looking for a drag strip star or road course terror just a quick (LOW 13et) yet competent (well handling) street car. Think along the lines of supercar like performance but not exactly to the true supercar extent. All input welcome...

I would have to say go for the gears, I wish I would have done that before I came to Korea

it looks like i have a setup that you would like, check 'my garage' for a mod list on my car.

my three biggest improvement mods have been

1 - 4.10s
2 - cams
3 - Longtube headers


those 3 mods alone make for a really fun car to drive

I don't think you can fully use the power you have now. GO with SFC's and LCA's to get it to the ground then go with gears.

i agree. with your Mods listed, and your trap speed, you should be well into the 13s. get your 60' down and practice launching and shifting and you should be near your goal. Best thing about that is its a FREE MOD
however if your looking to spend money, i would go with LCA's followed by a panhard bar. Also do Subframe connectors - their cheap. that will help you get the power to the ground the most. Gears will most likely make your problem worse, but it will still be fun to drive

i am not surprised that most recomend the gears. best cheap mod you can do.. but you really should get the tuner too. for one thw stock tune is really conservative. 2 the tuner is good too have when you make changes too your car. like gears, so you can setup the pcm for it.
