Not a bad mod, but MANY other things are ebtter and more worth doing first.

CAI, Headers, or some suspension mods are far more worth it..

one of those mods where work better with other mods rather then by themselves imo.. do not have them myself, but gathered from everything I have read.

For $200 I'd do it again. Install is pretty simple and if not install's prob $100 or less. I def noticed a quicker revving motor and a little more pull.....also no negative side affects

I didn't notice much of anything from doing both delete plates and udps.. worth it? mmm.. maybe not.. it might have taken .1 off my 1/4 mile (.2 for both) but it wasnt a difference i could feel..

if you want a seat of the pants feeling dont bother.. if you track your car all the time and want to knock every last tenth off then go for it.. It is a fairly cheap mod.. i actualy found it to be a pita to install..

Driveshaft and Longtube headers would be nice

CAI, Gears, long tube headers, gears is the order i'd do mods in if i did it over again.. and probably skip delete plates and UDPs.. especailly since eventually i will s/c and the supercharger i want wont use the plates or pulleys.

I think it's worth it but I also agree with the other guys---a CAI would really be a much more feelable difference not to mention the badass intake growl that goes along with it

Another vote for going with the CAI/Tune first, gears second. UDPs aren't a BAD decision, just not your best bang for buck.
