I have a limited suspension setup, but it has performed very well for me. I have a BMR Rear Sway, BMR Panhard Bar and Brace, BMR LCAs, and CHE K-member brace. Just those mods have done wonders for everyday handling and launching.


I have everything Mike listed except the O/R pipe. I have a alum driveshaft, that I haven't installed yet.

Another note, the only mod I didn't install myself was the 4.10s, but I had a friend do them for cheap. If you have someone else do all the install, it can get pricey real quick.

On a well-prepped standard track I will run high 12 also.

My 07 is my daily driver. My mods are listed in my sig. As long as my car is my daily, the only thing I want to add to it is a one piece Driveshaft, and some wider and better rubber. Before I added the headers, I was pulling high 12.7's. I haven't run it since the headers, but my buddy has an 06 GTO with a canned predator tune in it, and I put his nose at my back tires from 0-110.

Add a torque converter to that list and you will be haulin ***! Even if you go with a lower stall speed like 3200rpm you will knock almost a half second off your 1/4 mile times. Just make sure you get a good one.

I have the Steeda CAI with 93 brenspeed tune, hurst short throw shifter and 4.10's and I am very happy with the feeling of my launch. I can easily throw the passenger back in his seat from 2nd to 3rd, etc.

Only suspension is Elelbrock strut tower brace, Roush springs and Koni struts/shocks. My next addition will be a CHE K-member brack with torque limiters. Stock 17" rims/tires.

Since I'm making a list, appearance mods include custom paint, CDC Classic chin, headlight splitters and sequentail tail lights.

13.3 - CAI/Tune, Underdrive Pullies, Charge Plates...
Stock Tires/rims


I have a bunch of stuff waiting to go in from winter when i pull the car out...

As far as the list, there arent too many bolt ons that you can go with for a DD...for DD, i wouldnt put 4.10s in...

I would do what i have above, and then add an aluminum driveshaft and some bigger tires...

Dont forget about the exhaust!!

i was thinkin 4.10's wouldnt be great for a DD either, but i guess if you were in traffic the whole time it wouldnt be bad, what kinda rpms yall turn at about 60-65 in fifth with 4.10's?

Is your car a five speed or auto. 5 speeds come with 3.55's and autos come with 3.31's.

To chime in to Stealths question: I have two questions for you. How fast you wanna go and how much money are you willing to flush down the drain? lol
