Which mods if money were no object?

If you started from the beginning (100% stock) and money were no object, which bolt on mods (i.e. which brands) would you buy?

Since everyone's natural answer would probably be, "I'd do a built block, 2.3 with gt35r, etc", let's limit this to bolt ons and suspension -- tbe, intercooler, coil overs etc. -- if $ didn't matter.

Actually, I'd say its a bad argument. $$ will always be an object. I always read reviews, etc. The highest priced option isnt always the best... Then i shop around for what I want, usually in the for sale section here. Alot of times, you can buy the parts you need used in great condition!

Here are a few of mine.. most of which i bought used on these forums!

JunB.L Turboback exhaust: $489 - bought here!
IX MR BOV: $75 - bought here!
Hallman MBC: $85 - Lancershop
Walbro Fule Pump: $95 - Lancershop
Tune: $150
K&N: $60 - Autozone

All cheap mods that will net you lots of WHP gain

Lol it has to be right. JDM parts are the perfect blend of being grossly expensive and very gimmicky. For example: $3000 catback exhaust, it's all ti = good, all one piece= good, lightest and strongest possible = good, but may produce 10% less power than an exhuast 1/3 the price = damn, lol.

I would get David Buschur´s ¨Bad Bish¨ I think he would not sell it for less than 100K or Buy The AMS TA-X when finished or The AMS Blue Demon.

IMHO.................. ; )
