A blower.


Dont waste your time on most bolt ons, they are worthless in the grand scheme of things.

Lts, an off road midpipe, gears, tuner and a blower/nitrous/turbo is the only way to go on a 2v. Anyone who tells you bolt-on n/a is the way to go is a retard*. You spend the same money on full bolt ons vs a blower.


*...save for the few who just plain want an n/a screamer.. thats different.

1.) Don't waste your time or money on a cai.
2.) What are your goals for the car?
3.) How much are you looking to spend?
4.) Search button ftw.

Welcome to the forum.

Unless you plan to have a supercharger one day, I would go with 3.90 or 4.10 gears.

BTW, WELCOME to the forum!
