Default Need Upgrade Advice

Looking for some mods that I can add on for less than 400. I can prob install most small things by myself. I'm thinking about going with a nitrous kit down the road instead of s/c or turbo. I'm wondering cmcv? UDP's? Throttle Body? Anything else? Really like my gears so I wanna stay with the 3.55's. Thanks!

I would say CMCV and UD pullies. I hear that the tb upgrade isnt really worth it and you would need a dyno tune or something.

I heard it was necessary for a tune with the cmcv too is that true?

Yea you need a tune for the delete plates but you can get a mail order tune with that.

I already have a tune by sniper tuning so I would have to go there again right?

You don't have to, but if you like what they've done with the previous tune you can stick with them. Unless I'm mistaken whenever you install a new tune it will take the one already in your system stores it on the tuner (from sct experience) then uploads the one that you want it. So it will do a complete reset and if you do decide to go with a different company the tunes won't mix or cause any problems to your car.

You can get a tune from anyone you'd like, but Sniper won't just update the tune for you? That was a main selling point for me with Bama, the fact that they update your tunes for free...

As far as mods for $400? I second the UDPs and delete plates...don't bother with the tb, they're more trouble then they are worth.

Im wondering what they even change on the tune, because if its just a few settings I will have my friend do my tune when its time. He actually has the sniper tuning package and the sct tuning package. Its a lot of fun to mess with tunes!

strictly performance? You could look into getting some slicks.
