I voted suspension and brakes. I think it would be sweet to lower it some and get some better shocks and finish off your suspension before you go FI, maybe some gears before FI too. Then do the new rims and beefier meats.. That way when you finally do sc it you wont ever have to worry about traction problems.. just seems easier to me! Can you notice any traction or handling difference so far with the stuff youve added?

forced induction to get to mid 400's rwhp. then save for forged internals so you can go higher. no such thing as too much hp.

mmmmm....newbie here...can someone explain to me if there is a difference between the steeda "lower control arms" and the steeda "lower trailing arms"???

and the G-trac brace, is it really important as a suspension upgrade?

AirborneCZ nice mods! I have those exact parts minus the Steeda cai (Going with C&L). I also have a set of long tube headers from THR being built and Sean Hyland is working over a set of heads for me. I wouldnt go Forced induction without first doing the clutch at least and maybe some internal engine work also. But thats just my thoughts.
Now If I can just get the heck out of this dessert and actually start to install this stuff... 3 weeks to go and I am getting impatient
