They should be slamming Chevy owners and GTO guys. Anyway performance mods are forthcoming. That's why I'm here-to learn how to get the most bang for my buck. If the Camaro and Challenger make production, the GT guys will have more to worry about than stripes on a six.

True, I agree. And I did edit my post to reflect that you did teach me something new. I just been around these boards long enough to see what happens when a V6 badges thier car as an 8, regardless of year or tribute reasons. The Challenger will be insane, especially if they really go with the carbon fiber components to keep the weight of it down. The Camaro is looking pretty tough too, sporting a vette engine. So yea, our GT brothers will have thier hands full for sure.

For bang for the buck, I would go C&L CAI/Xcal2 and MRT muffler. Following that I would do a TLOK and/or TT and gears.

Thanks for the link! I like the Explorer X-press supercharger and the Powerhouse turbo system. In the next week or so I'll be going to the GT mufflers with the stock bumper. The rest is as you've laid out the plan.

Those two are my favorite as well, though I'm leaning towards the turbo once I am finished with the Zex.
