So we back tracked to El Serape by my house, which is always good but too much $. That was a little crowed but not over the top like Tex Mex.

Maybe one time in the summer we could all meet up for some Margarita's if there are some people who live around here or I will just meet you there Marc!

Geezus. In Texas eating fatty food is a way of life, family live down there and it's endless fast food and taco joints as far as the eye can see. Makes me appreciate Philly's wide variety. I heard that Philadelphia is second to only NYC in good restaurants, is that right?

TBE - any plans? Mo' $$$ for this but yeah I wish I could get it right now, wouldn't mind the Magnaflow custom built exhaust.
some sort of intake (panel filter or full CAI) - FULL CAI after I get the small battery kit, possibly AMS small battery kit or the battery Chuzilla is running with some mounting kit.

I like Pillar pods too, only I wish I could get a Nav System that could just display it all in the NAV screen just like some other beastly cars out there do. Have it all clean.

That's pretty crazy. I would love to take a ps class to learn how to do all this editing trickery

those are a lot of mods for one time. i think (and this is what i and most people did) it's good to start with a good solid basic mod like intake/exhaust and take it from there. intercooler and pipes will get you more power i am sure but it won't be optimized until whole thing flows much better. but you can't pass up a $150 intercooler that is in great shape.

the T1R IC pipes will probably be just fine. they're all just pipes. AMS is just known to fit really well without issues. i've a few ets IC pipes (and i am not knocking them. i have their exhaust it is fits beautifully) and there are slight fitment issues with the UICP fitting under the molded radiator shroud....not a big deal and still gets the job done....and possibly could be installer error vs. design error.

point is: you won't get the most out of the other things until you get the basics (i.e., intake/exhaust). unless someone disagrees with me.

Personally I don't think an intake is all that necessary on these cars, not until you start making over 350-400whp. The stock box on the VIII & IX is a pretty good design. I'm not saying you won't make more power with an intake, just saying its not really needed.
My car ran like ish with an intake, always wanting to stall when you would take the load off the engine... hated it.

Exhaust, fuel pump (not sure about RA's fuel pump size), boost controller and a drop in filter is all you really need to make good power. IMO...
