Get a throttle body/plenum combo, k&n filter, remove the air silencer, and a set of under drive pulleys. Also, get a gear, and a dyno tune.

To tell you the truth, I have the pullies and t/b and plenum and c/a and it didn't help me beat the car next to me. If you wanna make power save your money and get somethin that will give you power. Then get all those other things later.

+1 Decide where you want to go with your car. If you screw with the intake too much or put UD pullies on it and then decide to put a blower on, you just wasted your money on those first two upgrades. You could take the silencer off and put a K&N filter on there. Then get an exhaust. That would help your car breathe better and won't be useless if you go p/a. Another option is to do drivetrain or suspension upgrades. Those help a lot and are always needed. What do you have on your car now?

with the ammount of money you've already dropped on your car and are about to drop, you should have just gotten a nitrous kit.

Holy butterflies, did any of you guys read the OP? He already has full exhaust. [&:]

Also, I'm curiious to know how a 75mm throttle body/plenum will be a waste when a centri-charger is added.

Regardless, get a dyno tune sometime soon to see full advantage of all your bolt ons (if you haven't already).

LOL, I can't see his signature I'm on my work computer and it doesn't allow me to see some things. I didn't know he has a full exhaust. As for the TB/plenum, I understand it doesn't do much for these cars. And, as Nanaki said, that might be true
