I really wanna start start doing some mods just don't know where to start I guess just some easy bolt on stuff I have flow masters on it and a k&n intake system but that's it
I read that underdrive pulleys are a waste of money....any thoughts on where to start ?

1st figure out what you want out of the car (ie: drag car, auto x car, fun street car)

2nd figure out how much you want to spend, if you've got the money to supercharge/turbo charge it go for it

I'd recommend 1st getting some 4.10 gears, a lot of guys will tell you get get full length sub frame connectors for handling, a less restrcitive midpipe will open up the exhaust and help those flows sound off, then look into a short shifter and maybe some lowering springs, good tires are always a good call

everyone has their own opinions on what mod you should 1st... check out the stickies and you'll get a good feel for what mods are worth they weight and which ones are better left for later down the road... underdrive pullies are in my opinion better left for later down the road

I think he just means +40hp from what he has now, either way you cut it. Gears won't change it, but will make you feel like you have more. Go with midpipe/catback, throttle body/plenum, and CAI and the car should feel a lil faster. Last step is to get a tuner (SCT), and tune for 93 octane to get the most out of the mods.

If I were you I wouldn't forget styling and handling. Go with a nice set of 18" wheels, lowering springs, and mach 1 grill delete/chin spoiler to start. Check out americanmuscle.com to see what you like.

MGW with Silver handle. A lot say that the Steeda comes close to it but I never have got that. When I bought my Cobra the guy has a Steeda and B&M Ripper and I got to pick of the two. I picked ripper. Mgw is in the mail though
