Do a K-member! Hahahahaha no, in all seriousness thats for later, I'd do accel coil, thunder wires, and new spark plugs. Not too much performance gain, but it makes the car noticeably better driving, smoother revving, idling, and starting. Spend the rest on some exterior mods you like or save it.

Putting 3.73s in a stock 7.5 is dumb. Either do a t-lok AND 3.73 gears in the 7.5 or for nearly that same cost (gears, t-lok and install) you can get an 8.8 already with 3.73s (- install cost if you got a buddy that'll help) It's not hard to do, but you will need a cobra pinion flange for it to work with the DS.

I agree with Stang-aholic. If you are thinking about doing gears, save up for the 8.8. That has been my favorite "go" mod to date. It really gives you that kick in the *** feeling that the 7.5 never provided for me.

Running CJ Pony Parts custom tune. They are local to H-burg, PA and they input tunes based on mods I had made. The 3 tunes include a 87 octane, 89 octane, and aggressive tune for 93 octane.

Although I'm not familiar with the quality of their tunes, I've heard of them (I went to school in the Middletown area and lived in York and Lancaster counties for over 16 years with friends and ex-in-laws in the E'town and M'town area). Hopefully someone else can chime in regarding CJ Pony vs AM vs Brenspeed.

Is your car lowered?
I am happy with my Eibach Pro-kit springs, which lowers the car about 1.3 inches (front) and 1.5 inches (rear). The car handles much better around turns!
I grew up in Johnstown, PA and lived in Pittsburgh, PA while attending Technical School.

How about a chin spoiler? No performance gains, but looks fast just sitting there!

I have decided to continue to stick money away and revisit this next spring. Currently can't do too much while I recover from shoulder surgery. Thanks!
