performance mods

Hey everybody. I have a full exhaust on my 97 max, an intake, a UDP, FSTB, RSB and energy suspension bushings, Are there any other mods that will give me any significant suspension changes besides springs and struts and a RSTB? Like wise, besides the addition of half a semester of tuition to my car (ie: a SC), is there anything I can do to my engine that will add a decent amount of power to the max that is bolt on?
Thanks for the info and tips.
Look forward to hearing from you all

If you are an auto, eliminate auto lag with the pro-torque convertor...

thanks for the input, by full exhaust i meant ypipe and b pipe, a mevi does like a good idea any body have one in the metro west area? Im a standard so I don't think a torque converter would really help. And... Alex, I'll call you this week some time too . Conrad. Stickers eh? any particular color give me better hp output? I'm thinking pink or baby blue should give a little more than black or red stickers? is this the case? or am i just ****ing my money away ? thanks for the input everybody

ACT doesnt have different stages - they just have different discs - one is a "street" and the other is a "race"

ACT calls their clutches street or race but I think they are staged (either that or my stillen rep is retarded...) Because i had a choice between a stage 2 or 3 ACT clutch. Whatever the case I got the stage 3 it just came with a rougher disc. Best thing is that it has the T/O bearing and pressure plate w/it. I have chirped 1 2 3, but I don't anymore. Heard it can be really rough on tranny and gears...

GTR is the best bang for your buck ... if you can get a GTR sticker that'll fit on your entire hood you'll start traveling at mach 3 speed
