GEARS!!!! After that do a tuner, subframes, and then maybe start thinking about some intake parts, but they won't gain much power, the heads are the restriction, in the intake system. For now I'd do the above, then think about other stuff like intake and plenum.

I agree, only my blower was my best purchase.

Best tune of the six I had uploaded in my car over the years is the custom JDM Engineering tune for my EXACT mods.

My vote is custom tune for your mods when you get enough that it is worth it.

Skip the TB, the stock one does well with what you have currently. Gears, as many of them above mentioned, will be your next best performance mod. No doubt you will feel a difference with this mod alone.

I thought anything over 70mm TB is a waste if you aren't forced induction... That is what a lot of people have said since I have been in this forum and researched a lot. 75mm and 78mm TB are for forced induction applications. But I dunno that is just what I have read. But gears is what usually people buy and love. and also a tune as well.

It just creates a more exaggerated TB response. I will put my 75mm TB to good use soon when I get my Vortech kit in
