keep your stock pulleys, if you go F/I you cant use those underdrive ones.

+1 to sxy I ROFLED!

Gears, mid-pipe, and a tune. Everything else is a 100% waste of money on these small displacement modulars. Start saving for a blower after that. Bolt-ons are no fun.

Technically bolt-ons are modifications that don't touch oil, sorry bud. Cams touch oil, thus are not bolt-ons.

+1 on the short shifter, would consider that just as important as catbacks, gears or a high flow filter. OP Don't bother buying an aftermarket CAI you already have one on your engine from the factory.

They are cheap to find used though so that is a plus if money's an issue.

Here is a thread that describes the PI swap for ya.
Go for the pi swap trust me. My car is barely tuned and i made the 290rwhp. My timing was not even touched. I wish i wouldve had my gears in back when the motor was done cause now i want stage II cams. You can read everything else that was done in my sig.
