4.10 GEARS (FRPP) + Tuner(SCT XCAL 2 or Predator), TB and Plenum, then bigger/wider wheels and tires. Probably more than $2k, but u can do others later. I just ordered my exhaust stuff, and alot more to come in a couple months.


EDIT: I had posted tonight about an antenna delete type kit, and ur sig says u have it. Can u fill me in on the details please?

Also, I wouldnt waste 200 bucks on a cold air intake, just take the air silencer off, works almost as good as the 200 dollar intakes.

Your K&N intake may not be a CAI, but you did spend some money on it, why didnt you just take off the air silencer instead of wasting money? Not saying its bad or anything, but I do plan on getting a JLT CAI as my next mod along with 75mm t/b and plenum.

a shaker wont do much if anything for you. If you want to go fast right away gears and a tuner. A CAI by itself is next to worthless. Even a CAI+ Throttle body+ plenum will only really give better throttle response rather than noticable power
