So i finally got my car back from the shop and i'm so glad to have her back. I originally planned to get cams, but they'll be close to $1000 by the time i do the install and get tools and parts. The same goes for nitrous, by the time i get the kit, the heater, purge, and opener, i'll be lookin at $1000. i only need to spend $300-400 on my next mod and want maximum bang for my buck, as always.

Here is a list of current mods:

Power:
JLT II CAI
SCT X-Cal running Bama Tuning's 93 Octane Race tune at the track
Pypes Shorty Headers.
QTP Electric cutouts before offroad x (I run open headers at the track.)
Steeda Pullies

Launch:
MSD Launch Master
J&M Adj Panhard Rod
J&M Adj UCA
J&M Solid LCA
FRPP 4.10s
285 Nitto NT555R
Eibach Pro-Kit (If anything these probably hurt me)

I would really like another performance mod, as i'm pretty much maxed out on the launch unless i get drag springs or slicks.

I'd appreciate any advice you guys have. thanks.

Do you have a short throw shifter? Aluminum drive shaft? (I think they're more than $400, though).

Not really power but it will make a world of difference at the track and on the street. Shifter.

How can you forget about a short throw shifter?

MGW is good. I've got one on my '10. I had a Tri-Ax on my '01. I really can't tell a difference, though the MGW does feel less notchy.

Ah, sorry, I mean I can't really tell much of a difference between an MGW and a Tri-Ax. It's a WORLD of difference between either and stock. It was my first mod on both cars and I don't regret it.
