I want to buy a power adder but I not sure what to buy next. Please give me your advise as to what my next mod should be. I want something that I will notice. I only have two power adders currently. I already know that I need a blower but thats not gonna happen just yet.

I was thinking of a programmer. There is a bunch of bolt on stuff to choose from also. Honestly, what is my best move now.

i think everyone else is going to say gears...

but i dont want to get gears and then pay a few bucks for a speedo gear when i want a tune eventually anyway. But I would get a chip/tune and when you get gears just get it re-calibrated.

If you live where there are no emissions, then I say go with longtubes and a matching off road mid pipe. You are going to get the most power out of this combination. Hell I just got my combo for less than $500, and I know it will add some nice power to the rear wheels.

If I add headers and an X pipe won't that lean out the engine too much. I thought of that but kind of thought I should do something otherwise to equal it out.

I wouldn't bother with the hand held programmer if a supercharger is in the future, because you're going to need a different set up to tune the blower with later on anyway. Seeing as how forced induction is in the cards, you should buy components that are going to compliment it afterwards. Long-Tube Headers, High flow mid-pipe, larger throttle body, gearing…..not to mention depending on how much power you want to make, saving up to beef up the bottom end should be a priority as well. Don't waste money on the nickel and dime stuff, like CAI's, fancy spark plugs/wires, mufflers, etc, or anything that you’re going to have to swap out a second time later down the road.

i'd finish off the exhaust system, and then go for the gears. If $$ is tight, due to saving for the blower, then i'd skip the gears and just to the exhaust
