Ok i spent about 700 bucks on my C&L cai and a xcal 2 tuner....and i have dual GT takeoffs....however im savin up for a x-charger whenever it comes out...well actually i have the money, but to the question do you guys think i should spend the 3,000 for the x-charger when i already have the cai and tuner....or should i spend the saved up money on 4.10 and pulleys and other things? just wanting a few ideas of pro's and cons...

Really, the best question to start from is, "what don't you like about your car's performance now?". Are you really unhappy with it, or does it just drive you nuts that there are faster GT's out there??

Have to agree with LX200...for me I never intend on going to the track so I am going with the basic perform mods. No need for an X charger. Don't get me wrong, if I could afford one I would buy one in a minute...but I prefer saving up for the other fun stuff i.e. Tuner, cai, headers etc...

The question really can't be answered unless you are more specific about what you are trying to accomplish. Do you want a daily driver that just gives you a good bit of head snap, or are you looking for a track car that will do 13's.... It's a lot of money to spend, and that's probably a low estimate when you figure in everything you will need. If you add the rear end, and 4.1's, you will get real good head snap, but, you won't have a car that will do 13's. If you get a turbo or charger, you will do much better at the track, but it will cost a ton.

RE: Need mod advice..
well i never plan on taking the car to the track, however the thing i dont like right now is that when i jump on the gas theres not that extra umph to get the car going, all i want realisticly is enough power to get the tires to spin a little and throw some peoples heads back when you get on it. So if the cai, tuner, headers, things like that will do that...then i guess thats all i need...opinions?

I believe Rygen told me once that with the tuner and CAI you will be able to do these things

I think if you want to consistently spin the rears, you will need a different rear end (locked). BTW, are you running 93 octane tune? If not, you must switch to this if you want max power. I ran 87 at first (with my C&L), and when I switched to 93, I saw a big difference.
