Default ALL MY QUESTIONS I HAVE SO FAR

Ok here are all my questions that i have

1. I have a K&N filter, i will swap it soon but which cai? JLT2, C&L Racer (or your preference)

2. Manual GT 3.31 gears, which to upgrade if not going FI? I was thinking 4.10

3. Which headers (when ready) should i look to get?

4. Which short shifter should i purchase?

5. Is there a write up on installing UDP?

6. CAI, TUNE, UDP, CMCV OR CMDP, WATER PUMP, GEARS, are things to swap out to get better gains, what else am i missing that can be bolt on changes

ok, its all out my system.

1) The C&L racer is a great intake
2) If your not planning on FI, go with 4:10s
3) I am currently looking for headers as well, ARH seem to be the best performance wise but heavy on the wallet
4) The hurst short throw is an amazing shifter! I love it
5) Taco Bill has a great write-up on the install of UDPs
6) Go with full exhaust as well...and if you want a little more, bigger throttle body
7) Have fun!

Savanah, Tacobill's links are a sticky at the top of the page. I agree with what 06Saleen says, although I don't know if I would care to change the throttle body, it seems people have had some problems with changing them.Two things not mentioned:

1)tires/suspension.Lower control arms,etc, stickier tires helps you get the power to the ground (althoughI am still sliding around on the stock ones!)
2)lighter driveshaft. (a lighter flywheel is nice, but it's more of a bolt IN than a bolt on.

1) C&L Racer, slightly bigger than the C&L Street.
2) 3.73 or 4.10, depends how important mileage is to you.
3) Long tubes, shorty headers aren't worth it.
4) Hurst or MGW, Hurst being cheaper, MGW is much more expensive.
5) http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=65956
6) Driveshaft (one piece, lightweight), Mid pipe (offroad/high flow cats on a H or X pipe)

I wouldnt bother with the UDP's if you are going FI, you will just have to take them off later and the 8hp you pick up really wouldnt be worth $200+ in the short term. Just my 2 cents.
