Wait another 6 months, double your money, meanwhile teach yourself to tune. Buy an HTA kit with injectors, fmic, and maybe a meth kit and never look back.

Pay off your car if it isn't paid off yet.

If it were me and I wanted to get the most power out of $3000, I would buy a slightly used 3076/35r kit with a downpipe and testpipe. Add that with a tune and you should be good. If you find a kit cheap enough, you might be able to squeeze the kit,piping, and intercooler for 3000. If you don't want used, then the usual cam, meth, and exhaust will do.

Go with wheels and suspension, save the rest for maintenance(brakes, tires, clutch) and enjoy the car till the warranty is up. Then go for power, but its always smart to prep the chassis to handle the power first before bolting on another 100 hp.

Trade in the 8+3k down and grab a IX. Throw a drop in airfilter and have it tuned. You will make more power than you have now and still be under warranty

With my luck...I would put 3k into mods and a week later it would need 3k in repairs
