Unless you plan on going forced induction (supercharger) very soon, a cold air intake and a tune will be the best thing imaginable. I just got mine recently and it feels like an entirely different car...it's amazing.

do gears after the CAI/Tune....then get full exhaust, then get the pulleys, then get the delete plates, then get.....oh no, i've gone cross-eyed[sm=smiley29.gif]

point being...once you get one mod, well, it's kinda like pringles...

Welcome to the forum~!

Always nice to see another smart girl here to help keep the forum in check.....

I would agree with the above people who have recommended a CAI/tune.....you will be very pleasantly surprised at the hidden potential your car has just waiting on you....

Good luck with your modifications and keep us all informed~!

btw.......GET DOUG'S TUNES~! The dude knows what he's doing!!

+1 on the CAI and tune.

I believe the rule of thumb around here is Bama for the automatic trans and Brennspeed for manual. However, I don' think you can go wrong with either.

Default RE: GT mods

has anyone figured out a horsepower per $$$ figure yet?

The prices vary but I wrote down that the UDP gets you 10 hp for $200
and the K&N + Tuner gets you 29 hp for $589

Anyone else?
