next mod...

hey guys, now that i have my y-pipe, what should i do next performance-wise. i plan on doing it sometime within the next 2 or 3 months when i can afford it and after i get a system and an alarm... since my car is an auto, i was thinking vb mod/tranny cooler. that would help my tranny out as well as giving me a slightly better 1/4 mile time. my other choice would be an ecu upgrdade, whether its jwt or jet or w/e... that would also give me some decent gains. whatever mod i go with i will be installing a tranny cooler very soon. so what do you guys think?

Well it depends on your budget and taste. Are you into looks or comfort?
Looks: Illuminas with S.Techs or Sprints
Comfort: Illuminas with H&R's

Or you can get a coilover setup (more pricey) like the Tein Basics or D2, which allow for alot of dampening and height combinations

If you want to stick to your original options, I would definately say ECU.

VB mod is like 400 bucks from maximum tuning. you must be thinking DR Mod, which is the poor mans VB. I'd say if you wont do suspension first, do the VB and tranny cooler. If you plan to do other mods, save the ecu for last. that way you can have the ecu tuned for what you have.
