variable intake--mevi or oovi go to classified forum and go to 4th gen for sale items.
ecu-- jim wolf technology http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/
headers--cattman but maybe sold out try custom enterprise for the cattman they maybe sold out to just get a y-pipe or if you already have one don't worry about the 3-5 hp gains from the headers.
underdrive pulley-go to group deal forum and get the motostrom pulley
valve body--i forgot now the i have a manual i definatly forgot..

Don't listen to the manual trans guys, they are just jealous because they know that we are going to be faster. Just wait.

In addition to what's been said, you can also get lightweight wheels (15lbs or less) and stickier tires.

Do like Jime. 3.5 swap and headers. The thing with the auto 3.0 is that at those power levels there really is a big difference between auto and 5-speed, but as you get more power, the auto slowly catches up and eventually passes the manual. You gotta run 12s or 11s to get there though.
Just look at auto 3.5's, they aren't much slower than the 6-speed 3.5, while the auto 3.0 is certainly a bunch slower than the manual with the same engine.
I'm sticking with the 5-speed though, I'm adicted to the gearing

All you little wieners who think a stick is vastly superior (in drag racing) have a lot to learn. For low horsepower engines a stick wastes less power(this applies to you little ricer boys). In high horepower vehicles (a la Jime) an auto will be better because it can be modified to shift gears in thousands of a second. Since drag racing is a race against time, the auto is superior (it wastes less time being disconnected form the engine). Our Maxima auto is a pretty slow shifter, but it can be tweaked to shift faster.
For other types of racing a stick is better.
And if you think an auto is a weak tranny, your dead wrong. Do some research before you embarras yourselves.

If you want to drive faster, sign up for some high performance Driver's Education classes put on by your local Porsche or BMW clubs. You will learn tons of correct technique, and have a ball doing it. You will be a much safer and confident driver, too.
