Last post - Thanks for all the info, suggestions for best place/price of the following:
- Budget or Warpspeed Y-pipe
- Rear Sway Bar (don't need top of the line)
- K & N filter

Thanks!

Call warpspeed and tell them you're from the org. They should give it to you for $160. If not get it from budget.

If you're not going to lower you may want to consider the blehmco lower tie bar. It is said to improve steering response as well as help keep the RSB from making the car real tail happy. http://www.mattblehm.com/suspension.html

I think the FSTB does do something (handles slightly better in real sharp corners and reduces torque stear). Besides its only $20 off ebay.

You should also check this site out. It has lots of info on just about every mod out there. http://maxmods.dyndns.org/.

I would save it, add cash to it over the course of a few months and then take the saved money once it's built up enough and buy new suspension parts. If you're really in a hurry though I'd go for a Y-Pipe and a CAI.

It's not heavy at all and it's worth every ounce. Also, it's weight at the very bottom of the car so it lowers the center of gravity.

Same goes for subframe connectors. They're only 30 pounds or something but what a difference they make.

LOL... And the numbers just keep on coming....38,39,40...Whats next NI_NOS?

Headers alone = Approximatly 5 HP

Also atleast 5 Hr. Hard Labor (Im being very giving) = Less than 1 HP Per. Hour Labor

Hr. Labor Approx. $80

Sooo... $400 Labor + $300 Part = $700 for Approximatly 5 HP :

Damn, I have a lot of stuff to improve!!!

I purchased a FSTB (cheap, EBay), a CAI (cheap, EBay), and am looking into a WSB Y-pipe. After reading a few posts out here, may skip the CAI mod as I live in Oregon and don't want to drown my engine (and I am not convinced of the gain received by this). Y-pipe and FSTB will happen, maybe RSB and springs/struts down the road...
