This is what I'm planning in the next two weeks

1. Gruppe M intake CAI ~ 1350

2. Evo Pulley system ~ 650

3. Plasma Direct Ignition Coils ~ 1000

4. Tubi new full cat back system with large tips ~ 2000

5. Temp relocation kit ~ 100

6. Install ~ 500

This should be around 5K with the install. So, what do you guys think? Any suggestions?? I'm limited to 5K so if you add a mod remember to take one out of my list. Any input would be great. I'm planning a day of shopping on Mon. Thanks for the input.

Remove the pulley and add the Powerchip gold 93. To me that was the best investment. And the best part is you do the install.

M5MANNY,

I live in California so I have the Powerchip 91 gold. So the chip is done.

I would agree with the others here.. you should get some kind of software to go with your upgrades

Bryce...sounds like a nice little plan. If you have the Powerchips you are certainly going to need a re-mapping of it and reinstall after everything is said an done.

I would suggest a SSK though maybe instead of the pulleys...just to have a better feel inside the car

I agree with Tri on this...I'd much rather have the SSK than the Evo Pulley. It makes a HUGE amount of difference for the driver.

Other than that, everything you listed looks good to go.

Thanks for the info! Yes, I will get the system remapped after the mods are done! I did recently placed the rogue SSK,WSR, Tranny Mounts, and Royal Purple! Best $500 investment.

You should definitely place some additional post op epi's to help offset Mondays wallet pain. What about the eyeball room? So they have to stay around for a few more days. It's all in the name of a good cause. Have fun and enjoy the mods.

It's your dough, of course. But since you asked for our opinions....

based upon what you already have, this is what I would do, and in this order:

1) Evosport pulleys (a bargain - less than $100/HP, plus better mileage, throttle respnse, and extended accesssory life)

2) Dinan CAI (in place of your #1 and #5)

3) EXHAUST (emphasise intended!) If you don't already have an X-Pipe, GO TUBIS!

That was fun spending YOUR money!

You're on the right track....
