Here is my GT fellas. Stock right now, but got some mods on the way:
BBK Headers
BBK 85mm Throttle body and Plenum
Steeda Underdrive Pulleys
Vogtland 1.5" lowering springs
235/40/17 Pirreli Tires
MAC H-PIPE non catted
Borla Stinger Exhaust system
TrueFlow Cold Air intake with 85mm MAF
Hypertech Programmer
4.10 gears
Anything else I might need to make it run good with all of this stuff? None of this stuff is on the car yet, but it will be next week. Here is a picture of the car now

I will post another pic after the mods and a sound clip of the exhaust.

Definetely go longtubes, shorties are a waste. 75mm tb/plenum sounds good if u want the best go for accufab but BBK will work fine as well. Never heard of vogtland lowering springs, if u know they are good go for them, if not I would go for more of a name brand H&R is my preference but eibach and any FRPP spring is good as well. 235/40/17????? I think your car comes stock with 245's I dont see why u would want to move down in tire size. I would go for some 255 or 265's. MAC O/R H-pipe is a good choice. If you like the sound of the stingers go for it. Dont waste your money on a CAI or an MAF. I would go for SCT or predator over hypertech as well but again if u prefer hypertech and know its good go for it. 4.10 gears is a good choice.

Tri-ax is a short throw shifter.... It's about a 25-min install, and the instructions are idiot proof.... All you need to buy (beside the shifter) is a different **** (unless you want to stock one) and some high-temp RTV sealant :-p If you get a shifter and need help with it PM me :-p But it definately helps.. alot.... That stock shifter is just so.... stock :-p

I personally did not like my triax. It just seemed to miss the **** outta shifts all the time. The problem went away when the TKO went in, with its own shortthrow.

LOL you talk like your shifter made you miss or something, last time I checked it doesn't shift by itself. Everybody has there preferences for shifters I can understand that but you were the one missing the shifts not your shifter.

That's a good idea bro. What do you guys think about superchargers? Can you run one on a stock motor or do you have to mod the cams?

You can run a supercharger fine on stock PI cams, you want to worry more about your bottom end (rods, pistons). You can run a certain amount of boost for a certain amount of time but eventually its going to blow. Stay around 6-8 PSI and dont romp on it all the time and your motor should last awhile.

i wouldnt drop the car 1.5" i would get the eibach drag launch kit, if you lower the car you ruin the weight transfer, thats my 2 cents tho

Not if the rest of the suspension is corrected as well.
