Other than FI, what will be the next mod?

My mods are in my sig. She's sitting at 322RWHP and 311RWTQ...
So what's next (other than a FI)? Driveshaft? Coilpacks? Suspension?
And what brand do you guys recommend? Thx.

The stock driveshaft is a 2 piece design with a carrier bearing in the middle. The new ones are lighter and are a 1 piece design that is more efficient.

Helps with weight reduction as aftermarket driveshafts weigh around 19lbs and the stock ones around 28-29lbs. 10lbs rotating mass is equivalent to 100lbs of normal stationary weight, so a pretty big weight savings which equals more fun! Also gets rid of that clunking noise that the stock driveshaft has to offer! lol

Hit it on the head! I noticed with my aluminum drive shaft majority of the vibration in the car went away too!

That's makes sense..then what else is good to go with?

Maybe look into forging the block assembly, depending on the power you're looking to make. Also, depending on the blower you're looking into upgrading the intake manifold might produce pleasant results.

I'm looking at around 450-500.. I know that the stock can only handle 450-460 torque..So that would be the range..
I'll looking at Edelbrock SC. It's pretty different from other FI system and I like the idea how its intercooler works.. And it looks like I can get high HP with lower boost than other SC.
