Next mod opinion needed.
Alright so my current mods are listed down below on my signature but I'd like some advise on a few ideas for my next mod and what you would do.I got a tuner coming in the mail already which will be here soon so thats taken care of. Id like performance over appearance but the only appearance mod id do would be the strut,shock,spring and sway bar package which some could say is still a performance mod which it is imo but it has looks aswell. I was looking at replacing the intake manifold with the typhoon intake manifold and 75mm throttle body kit because figuring down the road i should consider replacing it since Id like to get cams installed in too. So in your opinion, what would you do for a next mod. These ideas don't have to be the ones to choose from just would like some ideas to aim for. Andrew your ideas are welcome too, sorry about blowing up on you yesterday. ;]

Something you should know is that if you plan on just doing cams (no head work) you really are best off keeping the stock intake. The tb/plenum upgrade would be good, but the stock PI intake will perform best with just bolt ons and cams.
With that said, i guess it really depends on what's important to YOU. I mean do you want more hp & tq in general, or do you want you current power to perform better? Know what i mean??
Me personally, i've chosen to focus more on power and sound. Only until recently have i started to focus a bit more on suspension.

Both guys above are correct!
I guess my question is, WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO WITH THE CAR?
If drag racing and ET are important, I would do cams and stay away from lower and stiffer suspension mods. If you are into autoX or handling activities, the suspension mods are the way to go. If you just want a better street car, I would go with suspension to improve the drivability. A brake upgrade is good for every situation.
The next mod all depends upon your long term goal for the car, and what you want to use it for.

Several items would be of benefit later with a blower...
Intake, TB, Long Tube Headers, Blower cams, Full Length Sub-Frame Connectors, LCAs would all be upgrades you could do now and get benefit from later with some boost. The first four are aimed at more efficient air flow, while the last two are for getting power to the ground better.
