well i would go with the CAi and exhaust first. THen work from there. Unless you wanna get a supercharger right away then i would start with the suspension. if you want 325 it isn't hard to get there with bolt ons.

Seems that this is what everyone wants to do these days.

Code3GT is becoming quite the popular guy.

I admire all the people that are wanting to build an N/A beast. I have had both and anyone can bolt a S/C on. Not that I have anything against the S/C cars, but N/A takes more research and initiative. Go for it, man.

Yeah, just a supercharger is easier. Don't get me wrong, I'm staying n/a, then switching with some nitrous and can't wait to have it on my car with the pi swap. I love nitrous better for some reason.
