My next mods, need some opinions...
I'm running out of available bolt-ons and thinking about adding an aftermarket TB, pulleys, maybe electric water pump, CMCV deletes, and COP's. I know some of these won't gain me much (if any) hp, such as the larger TB (maybe it will with my cams producing more topend?) and COP's but I know the pulleys and deletes would.
What's your opinions on these available bolt-ons keeping in mind that I'll be centrifugal supercharged by April.
They will all work with the s/c... just wondering which are worth it and the order I should purchase them.

yeah... I was considering the electric H20 pump "instead of" UDP's because I have a 1000 watt amplifier that pulls a bit of juice 
and the electric pump will help keep the car cool under boost. the electric water pump may just be my next mod...

yeah, UDP's/electric water pump was kind of an either/or decision. the water pump gains you about the same hp as the pulleys w/o the underdrive issues and additional cooling potential as a plus.
I think the pulleys are out of the equation and water pump is in.

You may want to go with a SPEC clutch.

As for the delete plates.... I'm still waiting on this phantom intake from C&L to appear. It does away with the delete plates but they keep saying it's "almost here!" yet never does...
Oh,,, I already have a lightning force perf one-piece dshaft. I told you... I'm running out of mods!

I don't have a blower on order yet but just sold a powerboat to a family member that promised to pay me the 10k after the first of the year. Waiting for that money to arrive. The only mod I've done to this car that has been financed with credit card were the cams and I already regret that, especially after hearing that citi is going to raise the rates...
