Rank your performance mods!

Hey guys, just wanted to try something that I think has potential to be a pretty cool thread. Rank your performance mods based on dynos, butt dynos, or just overall feel. Keep the list to 10, with #1 being the absolute LAST mod you'd get rid of.

Here's mine:

#1: 2.5" cat back exhaust
#2: FSTB
#3: Vogtland springs on Staag struts
#4: NWP BOP
#5: Custom SRI
#6: NWP intake spacers
#7: 5mm/15mm f/r spacers
#8: 17' timing advance
#9: 240sx test pipe
#10: NGK plugs

6 speed w/ hlsd
4.4x final drive ratio

those 3 alone are enough to prep a stock maxima up

Honestly I was struggling to think of a #10, and more frankly, anything that is a deviation from stock is a mod in my book
