ah,
I think I'd rather just save up and get the gears/TC first before the
smaller mods.Pretty sure I'll be much more impressed by the bigger mods then just get the
smaller ones to complement them.

I'll also go ahead and get the muffer delete race pipes with my I/T since they are only like $180,
the stockers are just so quiet.

Forget about that. If you are going to do everything under 2-3 months ditch that plan and go FI. Get a blower or a turbo setup. Both go for 4k. You will spend what 550 on intake, 240 on pullies, 150 ccmv's, 220 gear +400 install with install kit, TI No Idea, driveshaft 600, LT's 1.2k, muffler delete?

Not worth it go FI and forget about gaining 40hp for 3k and start thinking about gaining over 100 for 4k.

thought about that but that's next summers plan.

..plus the only local tuner shop will do the install on an SC for about $2k and the paxton
2200 I want is about $4800 I think...about $7k for FI. [:'(]

I want some get up and go..soon!~

Bro get a whipple/kb/saleen the install is pretty forward and easy. Lots of members have installed the blower themselves. I personally installed my 1st kb on my friends 00 GT it was really straight forward. It is a 1 day job. Just follow the instructions and you are set. Also run with your wallet intact from that speedshob 2k for a s/c lol. I wonder what they would charge for cams + a turbo install lol.

4.10's on an auto? I would look into 3.73s or 3.90s, 4.10 may be too steep for an auto. Do you have any plans on upgrading the suspension?

keep in mind your long-term goals. if you're going to go s/c, don't get UDP's, you'll have to take them off later. also since it's an auto and you plan on getting an s/c, don't get gears lower than 3.73 or else you'll run out of gear way too quick. i'd take the money from the UDP's and use that to get some adjustable LCA's to put that future power down and adjust your rear axle for the new DS.
