If I was like you and already had headers , intake, and spacers, I would buy an SSIM and get a machine shop to do some port matching for me.

I've heard some mixed reviews about the SSIM. some people say its great for upper range other say that the benefits would be there if our engines revved higher but because they don't its not worth the 5HP its gives. for 800 bucks? i donno..

what about the port matching, i don't know too much about that...

Away do you have now? For me it's either piggyback (most likely), cams, UIM, subframe connectors and collars or brake kit. Or something like that.

being that I have a 5th gen I'd get the full cattman exhaust for like ~$1200
For a 6th gen? I would put money into interior/exterior LED lights for the whole car, but thats not the performance part you're looking for.

best thing you can do with spare money is save it, that way if god forbid you blow your engine or tranny or something, you have cash right away to get it fixed. save money like that, and use any spare money you get afterwards on mods
