I'd add an aluminum driveshaft and a quality short throw shifter (if it's a manual) to S197GT07's mix to round out the $2K

those all sound like good ideas.. i think ill just keep them all in mind seeing is how april is probably going to be the starting date of work on it.. i kinda want to dyno it b4 and after the mods to see what power i end up gaining so when that time comes ill be asking more questions on where to go for these types of things..

Given the cost, Pete up at performance dyno said he only charges $150 for his dyno tunes, which is a pretty sweet price all things considered.

Also, do you plan on going to the track? If so I would replace a thing or 2 with quality suspension upgrades.

Good luck, and we're all here to help you make the best decisions with your monies.

H&R Super Sport Springs = 250
CHE LCA's = 150
Manaflow catback = 450
JLT CAI and SF3 Tuner = 550
Tokico HP Shocks 7 Struts = 380
Steeda Tubular Radiator Support = 160
Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber Plates = 320
Total $2110
**est prices: at most you'd pay, excluding sales & discounts.
This is what my mod list would be if i had a stock s197's & 2k to play with. (Just me though)
Good luck in whatever you choose

a big factor i keep forgetting about is TIRES.. my best friend is a tire guy to the max, its his life selling tires and he has gone vary far in the business doing so and tires would be a great addition to my car, idk what i should get but id imagine 6-800 for all 4 seems about right hoping he hooks me up with the right deal.. so thats a fair amount of money right out the window but tires do make or brake a car, better traction means better take offs, better stick around corners, and better stopping distances..

1st purchase tires..

Ditto. Unless there's an issue with your factory tires, or you're upgrading wheels and want a different size, I'd be more inclined to get some use out of the tires you already paid for with the car, and look for tire deals when they need replacement. Since you're car is a 2010, I'm assuming they are not worn out yet?
