Yup! You can probably change your gears out too and stay under $1000.

I personally like Eibach springs, gears, and some sort of body stiffner. (subframe connectors or strut tower brace) This usually improves launch and lateral G ability.

i'm with 05vert gears and tune definitely. cai if it comes with a tuner but for 300 bucks and 5-10hp you may be better off getting pulleys instead. i installed my steeda cai later after i already had a flash tuner and even with the new a/f corrected it didn't make any noticeable difference except sound.

maybe with a canned tune, not a dyno tune. Those are kinda expensive
