Creepy... I was just thinking about posting this $5k thing (but asking what else would you add after my current mods). And in the IX section.

That is VERY creepy...... Mostly just asking to see if there are some things maybe i missed that would be more important also to see just for what other people would do with it.

suspension - brakes - tires, in my opinion.

This. I have most bolt-ons short of a turbo.. I still don't have a downpipe but I'm not too worried about it. I would go with some Volks/coilovers as well..

I see you had edited your post and it made me laugh. I have new stuff for the clutch here for when I do rebuild so thats not money I have spend hahaha. And as long as I can keep the tq respectable the hd twin should be just fine. As far as the stages my car is pretty much done. That would top it off and that is what I am planning on doing to complete it

I was thinking the same thing because thats about how much I have

I decided to stay under 5K and get awesome power...E85

ETS FMIC Kit (intercooler, upper and lower pipe) - 1043.95

BLAQOPS Single Pump Kit with Walbro - 269

Injectors (DeatschWerks, RC, or Injector Dynamics...not really sure) - 500

AEM CAI - 283

RRE CatBack - 625

RallyCat -220

RRE Downpipe - 160

GM 3-port - 105

Duel Map Tune 630

$3835 if I do all the work myself, but if i get lazy thats what the $1165 left over is for

Thoughts?

I hope to hit 380 - 400 hp and stay at about 360-375 tq (RRE Dynopack)

Not trying to get off topic here but Robevo correct me if im wrong but tires are probably the best upgrade you can do for auto x right? what i meant was some nice hoosier a6's or toyo r888's for track days. Its hard to be competitive in BS class against s2k's on R comps

After realizing I had an extra 1156 left over plus the stock yokos are at 12k, I was just looking at tires. I plan on doin track but not in the near future. So I was thinking HK V12s and next year get some Volk TE-37 SL with R-compounds on KW V3s, and Whiteline RCA. I know I probably should do that first but, I'm trying not to do suspension first because I know I will be at the track every weekend.....sinking money into it so I figure by going power first I can avoid it....call me crazy lol

Oh, I love these kinds of threads. Hmm, Volks TE-37 SL's or Ohlins shocks or FMIC and piping and TBE exhaust. The mind boggles. Personally, I would either work on the drivetrain as a whole, or do the suspension/brakes. Either way, you will eat up 5k in a very short period of time. A lot depends on how the car will be used.
