Default So I got the itch again...

I'm thinking either new injectors (24lb), or BBK 78mm intake. what do yall think?? And Why?
So far this is what ive done to the car: jlt intake, shorty headers, off-road H, borla cat-back, sct programmer, lowering Springs, adjustable shocks, caster & camber plates
thanks!!

I was gonna say go ahead and Supercharge it; I learned the hard way and spent $1000'S on my car doing bolt on after bolt on and never being satisfied. I bet that if you polled all the people who spent tons of money on bolt ons and had to do it all over again, they would of SuperCharged thier cars first instead of wasting all that money on bolt ons. But seeing that you have limited funds, do what makes you happy; either save for a SuperCharger or get every imaginable bolt on there is, and live to regret it.

+1. I ended up supercharging after all the bolt ons. Then I did gears. The gears were huge. If I were you I'd do those first.

No need for injectors... BBK 78mm combo really opens up the throttle response, but definately gears first.
