Default Next Mod?? Little help

ok so now i got the look my new saleen kit, wheels, gauges painted interior pieces. Now i wanna get a little performance out of her without a blower. all i have is the bbk cai. next weekend im ordering the lm1 catback.

My ? to you guys is what should i do for some performace without spending thousands like heads, cam, blower. i plan on doin no2 soon tho. i read that a throttle body really doesnt do anything on a stock motor so prolly wont do that yet. what do you think.

If you are dead set on doing a non-intercooled blower then i'd go with the Vortech. Personally, i'd go with the fully intercooled 9psi Kenne Belle kit if it were me.

I'd start with a tune and gears.

Gears and Tune BEST thing you can do to improve performance without spending that much money.

ok so i will most likely get the 3.73's and the sct tuner and the rebuild kit and bearing kit which is gonna run about 750 then getting it all installed. but this isnt going to be for a while. just curious what is the stock ratio on a 03 gt auto??
