if I were you, I would just save up for the supercharger, but if you have to buy something now I would go CAI and some exhaust.

VMP Tuning. VMP Half CAIand SCT Xcal2 Tuner for $439. Half CAI means no replacement inlet tube and no heat shield. Best bang for the buck. Justin knows his stuff. Your going to need a Tuner for the Supercharger anyway. You can sell the Filter with the MAF Tube for close to the $60 extra you spent on it. If you decide to forego the Supercharger you can buy the C&L Racer Inlet Tube and Heat Shield from VMP to turn it into the full intake. Thats only worth about 3 hp though.

The fastest CAI/Tune only car I know of (12.7 on factory Pirellis) AmericanSpeed runs a VMP Mailorder Tune.
...and no I dont run his tune or intake.


After that I would go with some LCA's, Steeda Springs, Adjustable Panhard Rod, Panhard Bar Brace, Tokico D Spec Adjustable Shocks. That unfortunately would put you about $250 over budget. I cant see anything I wouldnt do while I was at it though.
