^^^ awesome first choice. When traction evades you, get some drag radials and rear ca's...

RE: First Mods . . . Any advice?

^^^ I had terrible wheel hop when popping the clutch anywhere below 4K rpm, which the rear upper and lower ca's took care of PERFECTLY... with the factory pirellis wheelspin was bad, but the nittos work well...I mounted up the drag radials before I got my 4.10s so I can't tell you how bad traction would be (I keep meaning to bolt up the pirellis for fun but always figure as soon as I do I'll run into a race and go up in tire smoke, you know?) but my understanding is that it's pretty damn bad.
...anyway, you should notice one hell of a difference with the 4.10s and tuner/CAI combo...the exhaust is a sound-only mod (sorry no hp gain)...but you should have fun until you decide you want to start hooking, in which case like I said get some DRs and rear ca's (most/many claim you can get away with lowers only but steeda sold me on the upper with their "sucker" package lol)...

p.s. Indiana, huh? Are you close to howarmat? He's one of our gurus...

Yeah, it's kinda funny how I picked it.. I'm actaully a South Carolina Gamecock fan but everybody says I'm a little cocky. I just tell them I'm confident.. ha ha

ha ha.. I like it.. I thought about the liscense plate idea but figured thats a ticket waiting to happen.. They would probably pull me over for a rolling stop or something stupid if they read my plates..

Supercharge. I would say Intake but unless you get a saleen, your aftermarket intake will be useless. And they always say once you start modding its hard to stop. So you might as well start where you'll end up eventually.
