So eventually I do plan on going f/i but for now I am trying to see what I can get out of it by doing bolt ons till I can save up for the S/C. Right now I am running a 9.5 in the 1/8 on street tires and i couldn't launch anymore than 2500 without crazy spinning.BTW it was stock when I ran the 9.5 is that good? i beat a 2005 he got a 9.55. Right now I have a CAI and mangnaflow catback what would be best to go with next? I drive on the highway 40miles a day so keep in mind i dont wana be getting 12mpg lol. I was thinking steeda under drive pulley,
throttle body, and tuner, I have radials now.

No underdrive pulleys if you plan to do a super charge, you have to swap them out anyway.

I would finish up the exhaust, with an O/r or catted x or h pipe, then some headers, gears (3.73s would be my choice), and the tuner. Wouldn't worry about the other bolt ons

Unless your just dying to buy something though you should probably just save for the S/C and forget bolt-ons, a lot of people on here will tell you how they spent 1000s on bolt ons when they could have just saved that and went F/I and had a beast of a car with the power to back it up. So just save for that then get some suspension mods and be good to go

If you are going blower in the future I wouldn't get UDPs or a throttle body (depending on which blower you go with). I would definately do headers and mid pipe as your next mod. Then gears, new tires and a STS.

thanks yea I am not sure which one i am going to go with i heard kennebell i better for daily its good for a jump in and go car where a vortech is more power but more issues

WannaBeGearHead

^^^ Not sure where you heard that but that is not correct.

Pony123

Forget everything else except

Tuner
gears
OR xpipe
and if you want headers PLEASE DO LONGTUBES or else dont waste your time

If you can afford a Kenne Bell i wouldn't think twice then. It will be every bit as fast as the Vortech with the same horsepower level. Both are equally reliable when setup correctly.

Either way gears, long tubes and matching mid pipe, and a good tune are your best bet.

ok great but what about suspension I mean i love the car but i wana live this winter it's bad enough now i have lowering spring done by previous owner that helped but deff needs more i was thinking upper and lower control arms what else? and also was my run 9.5 in the 1/8 good for stock?

ARod's 01GT

I dont think 9.5 in the 1/8th is to bad. I did 9.3 completley stock with heavy 20 inch chrome rims on, so im sure theres more left in your car.

Yea i have 17" on mine also and how was your launch?
