Then the best advice I can give you is find someone who can advise you on the right path and also offers high quality parts.

WORKS has been great with me and I think that I have got great advice along the way. I have never had to upgrade a part because it was not what I expected or did not perform as expected. Also every time I needed someone to sit and explain why this should be done they have taken that time.

I'm sure they are not the only tuner out there that does this, but they are the ones I have experience with so I would have to recommend them.

I'm not assuming you don't know how to drive already but in order to really appreciate the mods, you have to know what does what and see the difference a certain part makes.

I see too many people who buy a new car and say they have X amount to spend on mods and go bolt-on every thing and drive around a parts hanger, go out to the track don't even know the car's original limits and now have even more power than they know what to do with.

Parts shouldn't be based on how much $$ you have, its about getting everything to work together. If you really have pushed the car's limits and your own, you will know what will make the most difference for your $.

I love this!! There was nothing more fun than going to the track or just learning the new capabilities of your car after each mod. It's the best part of spending the money!

no track time yet but in have put 5k miles on the car driving from palm springs to phoenix in the last two weeks and anybody who has made that drive before knows that it is completely straight as far as you can see and nothing but desert I took it up to 130 without any problems and was very impressed with the cars handling no shaking and it felt like it wanted more gas that I wasn't going fast enough
