I want some because of good power, but i wont waste like 700 bucks and 15 hours when i plan on turbo this summer which intails the k member removal, and of course diff headers lol, so im stuck doing the back breaking anyway. If you want an all N/A car, with maybe some nos i guess? then deff good buy. Just my opinion. And as far as things youll notice, gears exhaust and TB thats about it lol

if you go the n/a or s/c route then LTs and gears are a must. turbos will require a different manifold so thats a pointless mod for turbo cars. with a s/c GT theres like a 20-25hp gain with LTs and depending on the type of blower the gear ratio can make all the difference.

trust me i really want to..i would prolly turbo it if i didnt have this stupid warranty but oh well im going to stick with it for now because it has already saved me about $2,000 and its still good up to 120k miles.. but i think starting with a tuner and then maybe headers after? or would headers and full exhaust be better now?

Tuner and gears, like most people are saying, will be great for you. Yes the tuner is a nice mod. I have the Sniper which I would recommend for its ease of use and you can fine tune the timing and all yourself. Sometimes you forget what a certain mod does for you until you revert back to stock. I loaded my stock tune several weeks ago and damn that car felt slow.
