Next mods?
Okay so I posted on Facebook but I wanted to post here too. I got a 1200$ bonus and I want it to go to my car. I'm thinking about buying some 4.10's even though it seems like no one runs them, I want a tuner but I don't know which one to buy any ideas?
Also want a mid pipe but I don't want inspection hassles, any ideas here? If there's any money left over after install I may go with MGW or something on the suspension side. Any suggestions here either?

4.10's are a lot of gear for these cars. When you add more power down the road you might regret those gears. At most I'd suggest are the 3.73's but it seems like most end up with the 3.31's depending on the mods later.
A tune and exhaust really woke my car up. Most tuners tend to lean towards SCT for the programmers. So an Xcal should be in your future. I got mine from Truestreet, they keep them in stock and then you can talk to them about a tune too.
Be sure to check with all our vendors here to take advantage of your member discounts! Every lil bit helps!

Intake/Exhaust/Tune.
No gears. The 3.73's are steep enough.

4.10's are great. I still got them if you want them.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I don't have 3.73's. I'm trying to decide my only hold up is the 400$ plus to install them and if I end up not liking them or going boost I'm out that 400 or more.
When you say exhaust what all are you including?

Midpipe and axleback. Headers are not a real critical mod. In fact, longtubes often cause problems on these cars.

Ok, I have axle backs and the mid pipe should be coming soon.
Do you have offload or catted midpipe?

I've got a Lethal offroad Hpipe. I really like it. Fits like a glove, no leakage, great quality and sound really good.

Just get the car tuned to remove the error code removing the cats throws. Inspection plugs to the comp not the mufflers.. Or.. go to east dallas.

tell me about it...my car came with 3.73s and now that i have boost, im trying to go down to a 3.15 or 3.27 and the install is a bit steep.
what gears do you have now? if you ever plan on going boost, keep what you have or go lower in the future.
i think i said this on facebook but id go AED tune, ORH, MGW or Barton shifter.
