ok guys, im running out of ideas.
I have upgraded almost everything I can for my engine aside from heads/cams.
Intake:
K&N FIPK II
PP 75mm TB
C&L 7mm plenum
exhaust:
UPR o/r X
Tune:
predator tune
Other:
Steeda UDP's
copper spark plugs
really all I can do is shorties and a catback, but i have my reasons for not doing them.
any one got some ideas? there used to be a sticky on this but i cant find it.
once im done with my engine specs, I'l move on to suspension.
i have plans for:
CC plates/springs/bump steer kit
sway bars
U/L control arms

RE: ok guys, im running out of ideas.
thanks guys. the reasons for not doing headers and gears is that its not something i would trust myself to do, and I dont have the money for labor.(Im in the bay area-california. labor is a bitch) Ive seen minimal gains out of a catback, but the sound with an o/r X would be terrrible. I like the idea of a lighter drivetrain though. Im going to look into those alum. driveshafts. are they a do it yourself mod? I dont know where to get a lighter harmonic balancer, and if I did, It would have to be the same diameter as the steeda one to work with the other UDP's. But yes im definitely starting on suspension soon.
hey quickshift, I have the G sport tires too and theyre awesome. definitely the best Z rated tires for the price. they handle like a dream. do you like them?

RE: ok guys, im running out of ideas.
I absolutely love them so far. These tires and the GS-D3's were my the two I couldn't decide between. I needed the tires immediately and couldn't afford to get the wheels I wanted at the same time, so the price was the final decider. They seem to be great for straight line performance for a street tire. The handling is fanastic! The wet traction is fair enough, but I don't drive it in the rain anymore anyway.
I would buy another set of them again when the time comes, but when that happens...I'm getting the black deep dish bullet 10.5's for the rear and also black bullets for the front. I'll be getting the GS-D3's to wrap around them at that time.

I would definately say go with some suspension, I personally would say some coilovers...I went with lowering springs and I later am going to switch to the MM coilovers, aswell as lower control arms and a panhard bar (for handeling).
