upgrade advice and intake mani

well, i have the money to get the bored intake mani from rrm(other mods listed in sig and in reg), but i'm doubting whether its worth it or not. alot of other things have come to mind that i want to do, so i'm stuck as to what to do

i plan to stay n/a, and the intake mani, tb, and piggyback will end my performance mods

but i was thinking about the eibach lowering springs, or getting my windows tinted, or the intake mani

what do you guys think? does the intake mani make a big enough difference in n/a, or only when i launch(which i don't do often)?

do the lowering springs provide extra handling, or just improved looks? i want to go with the tein basic set, but 800 bucks is way out of my league

It should help at all times since you'll benefit from better flowing intake air and not just during launches. You should get gains pretty much throughout the powerband until the top end of it when exhaling mods will provide gains.

For NA, I don't think the effort to hone out the intake mani is cost effective w/ your current mods. If you have done cam & cyl head work, you can consider it w/ a green light.

Why? You are not drawing a cyclone amount of air into the motor yet. Cam work will do that.
