What to do.. All Stock X.. 3k to spend
The COBB AP is used to flash the ECU. As long as you stay on the COBB recommended parts list and don't get creative, the off the shelf (OTS) maps, available for download from COBB, give you instant bang for the buck.

Buschur Racing Stage 1-3! https://secure.buschurracing.com/cat...cbef747b1e218d
Buschur is located in Northern Ohio so would be a close drive to Michigan!

Stock Car makes 215whp/240tq on Buschurs Dyno
Stage 1-2 makes roughly 300whp/300tq on Buschurs Dyno
Buschurs Dyno is a low reading Mustang Dyno so it would be more like 345whp/345tq on a dynojet.
Buschur Stage 1 $1,175
*Crossflow Catback (Stock Cat Flows Really well no need to change it)
*Buschur Air Filter Kit
*Buschur ECU Tune
Buschur Stage 2 $680
* Polished UICP
* Polished LICP
* Polished Air Intake
Buschur Stage 3 $759
* Buschur Race FMIC
Roughly $2,600 for the whole Buschur Stage 1-3 Kit. This is the route I would suggest going. The crossflow exhaust is not annoying loud adds nice tone to the car but makes really good power!

Thanks for all your input, so far i have::

ETS FMIC
ETS UICP & LICP

Other than that i plan on getting the rest of my exhaust soon and possibly meth injection. Then head to AMS for some maps.. I plan on doing this stuff with my tax refund

You know, $3000 really is plenty for making a nice, well-rounded evo! Look for deals and be selective about your parts and you can make this budget work. Most of this is from my personal X (and pretty close to Kracka's too I think).
Tuning: $500
tactrix cable, microSDcard, odb2 extension cable 210
innovate LC-1 $180
pierburg 3-port BCS $100
Power: $1400
perrin turbo inlet hose $100
aFe stage2 intake $220
magnaflow catback, modded w/ 3" inlet $500
megan testpipe $120
MAP o2-elim downpipe $450
Handling: $500
Whiteline rear sway: $175
eibach springs: $200
alignment: $100
Shifting: $250
redline cocktail: $40
ams front motor mount insert $65
underhood shifter and gate bushings $75
Rear diff bushings $50
Driveshaft bushings $50
Good luck!

others might disagree but i always go
suspension first then power
so my vote is for kw v3's ~1700
robispec sway ~ 160
whiteline roll center kit ~120
do the install yourself, then get an alignment + corner balancing ~400
cosworth drop in ~45
cobb inlet ~100
cobb hard pipe kit ~550
that's roughly 3k right there
then go exhaust + hi flow cat or test pipe + fmic + tune later on

LOL I just checked my notes and it was about $450 w/ ceramic coating--worth every penny to keep heat down at the back of the engine bay!FWIW I did get almost that entire list via MAP--they have great prices and top notch customer service!
Don't waste your money on an intake at the power level you are talking about (with tune and exhaust). Then again, I would not put lowering springs on an evo so......
Best bang for the buck IMO, (upper ic pipe, turbo back exhaust, drop in filter, boost pill or 3 port, tune, then a good alignment and some good sticky tires (Z1 star specs for example).
Take the left over and go to a driving school or track day.

As expected, lots of Type A personalities with opinions. All have different ideas and each one think their idea is the best. Moral of the story? Ignore all this advice and start reading the threads and do your own analysis. You will find the answer, just take some effort.
