my turn for the CAI and pulley!!

Finally!! installed my Alta CAI and Alta 15% red. pulley. The combination is awesome and was more than i was hoping for! i got it installed at Steve's Auto Clinic. Only took a few hours, and the guys there were great. The 70 mile drive up to steves shop was well worth it . happy motoring everyone!

ps: any suggestions on what mod i should do next to my 05 MCS?

Rear sway bar is a great choice.

Another good choice is a cat-back exhaust. You've freed up the intake to breathe better, and added a pulley, so why not make the exhaust breathe better too?

rear sway and a full cat both sound great for my next mod. maybe ill just splurge and do both ... arent there multiple mods that are best to do together at the same time.. since they envolve the same processes/ tasks?

You can do a SS Kit along with the exhaust since you need to drop the exhaust to do the Short Shifter.
