After dealing with one modded evo.. I say put it all into suspension. Zeals, Ti strut bar, sway bar, Croxx plate, bushings, avc-r, safcII, catback, rotas and hoosiers. Car is way more fun this way. You will actually win at autox this way.. youll get dominated by putting all that money just into the engine.

he didn't say anything about autox, he only wants to break into low 12's and there is not a suspension setup in the world will do that without performance parts under the hood.

IMHO i would stick with the dyno flash and not get AEM EMS right now. you really don't need it unless you are trying to get everylast HP out of your car that you can. a flash will be just fine and you save your self a good bit of money in the process. TBE is definitly a given, there is so much power corked up in the exhaust. it surprised me when i put my exhaust on how much power i had unleshed. the rest is up to you and it all depends on what your taste is. me personally would be TBE, manual boost controller, intake, BOV, and flash for right now. then see how much you have left on talk with your shop about what you can get for around that price including labor. hope this helps.
