Question Can't decide what to mod , i need opinions

Ok so far i have a base tune (GST motorsports) and a k &N drop-in

I just dont know what to get. I eventually will get all of these just don't know in what order. ( i have $1200 for mods right now) Keep in mind I am planning to get boost pill and tune right after.
i was thinking

A. BOV (not sure if i want evo IX MR or HKS) and UR downpipe
B. Full exhaust ( w/minimuffler)
C. UR FMIC
D. BOV and Hard Pipes
E. reccomended combo?
The thing is part of me wants a sneak attack ralliart but want exhaust at the same time lol, I cant decide!! what do you guys think?

Hmm i am also in the same situation. If you look at all the stage 2 stuff ams has coming out right now you might want to wait until they have their products up for sale on their website to see what you wanna do with your money, if not you might wind up wishing you waited.

Don't forget some of the littler stuff like pulleys, RRM has a lightweight crank pulley for the 411 motor.

I say wait for AMS before you do anyting. Their stuff looks like it will be worth the wait. I know how u feel I get my bonus next week. I hope they are ready by then or soon after.

No date is for sure but Chris from AMS said it would be soon in one of the threads because all the parts are ready they are just getting the pricing stuff down.

For Stage 2 you will need alot of aftermarket parts.. LOL.. as far as the BOV goes.. the Stock MR BOV is great for Stage 2.. you dont need a different one.. I know guys running 25PSI of boost in their MR with the stock BOV.. no problems
