I can't give you any advice on how to get rid of the modding bug (as you can tell from mysig).

However, I'd do the gears next.

Take 2 sleep aids, then go to the bank the next morning, withdraw ALL your $$ and get crazy buying stuff. I'll send you my bill.

It seems like most of the members on these forums have the same advice to save your money and go FI. The basic bolt-ons are essential in my opinion (CAI, A/B exhaust, midpipe) and a tune. After these, save for a supercharger or turbo.
I agree. If you can wing it, save for a hairdryer or blower and be done with it. Like most in here, its not in my best financial interest for a blower, so just stick with the bolt ons.

When you look at the $$ starting with FI makes a lot of sense. Otherwise you wasted your money on CAI/tune. For not much more than the whole shebang of bolt ons......you coulda had a blower Wish I had done it [&:]

gotta have a plan. if u dont have a plan you are just throwing your money into the wind. whether it be FI or bolt ons, show or go, you gotta do what YOU gotta do. my plan is simple : do mods that 1. make more power, 2. look good, 3. sound better. trying to stay away from FI for now bc plan to get a fox body or sn95 for daily driver so i'm saving money. my advise would be get a plan first.

Well I went ahead and got my 373 gears installed yesterday, moving on track to what I want from my car. All exterior mods have been done, now working on performance.

This forum is great for making you save money...so you canbuy really expensive stuff with your savings I agree with what some others have said: decide where you want to go with your car, then buy or save up for what you really want. While I've been pleased with my C&L CAI, in retrospect, it was money that could've been put towards the supercharger I'm saving up for now.

I had a brenspeed tune/CAI on order for 3 days, I called, cancelled it, and got the saleen 500+ supercharger. It puts a huge grin in my face every time I drive it. It cost a lot of cash and trouble from the wife. But it was absolutly worth it.
