Best Spent Money? (Efficiency)
#21
I placed my order for the Steeda Tuner and their CAI today, $699.95 delivered.
I think American Muscles lowest price package is $589.99 + S&H and the most expensive is $659.99 + S&H. So I spent more but it is still the cheapest power you can buy dollar for dollar and I got some American made product. I spent $35 per HP and $23.33 per F/LBS for 20hp and 30f/lbs. It is not a lot more power then the other kits offer but how else can you get more power for that kind of money?

Thanks for choosing Steeda and supporting the American worker!

I have been running the Steeda 91 Tune and their CAI for a while now and I am really pleased.
I am thinking of adding the BBK Throttle Body next, there seems to be enough people out there that have had positive experiences with it. ($400, easy install, good reviews)
I am also thinking of upgrading the coils. Does anyone sell the plenum gasket online? Or do you have to actually go to the dealer for that? ($400 easy install, good reviews)
I am also thinking about the Aluminum DS, I wonder how hard that is to change in the drive way?
The shop around the corner from work will swap them out for $90.
Should I put a saftey hoop on at the same time? or since I don't race should I put that off for a while? ($680, not sure about the install, lots of good reviews)
I have been looking at lighter weight rims, I think I will just keep my feelers out and try and line some up by the time I need new tires.
and of course exhaust, I guess I am down to trying to find something that is light weight and not obnoxious. I doubt I could get away with much more then an axle back change out, but at least I can shed some pounds.
I got suspension and handling on the radar but I am not really sure what exactly what my plan is. There is a lot of options, I am sure what type of springs I would like. It almost seems to me that I might just go the distance and eventually put in a nice coil set up. I am a little concerned about lowering the car and then having clearance issues.
A short throw shifter is also on the radar, but I am not sure exactly how I would value that upgrade.

I was the idiot that got the auto '13 V6 with Pony Pack instead of the Manual '13 with the performance pack...
I am currently looking to get a huge power increase so the car feels like the Manual I test drove. I can honestly say, I'm going for the Steeda and Bama Tune now. haha

Well Mike congrads on the new ride. Its a fun car weather you have a stick or an auto. I know sometimes when I am rolling home in stop and go traffic I can see the daily advantage to having an automatic.
