SHOCKS. It goes a lot faster with the tires on the ground. HD or FSD's.

+1 to the recommendation for better intercooler (than the tiny stock one we have).

I have the Helix FMIC installed and love it, -noticeable difference!

-oh what about CAI? -I don't see that on your list, ...that's an easy 10hp gain. Also exhaust? -that's another 10hp for w/o the entire downpipe..

intercooler, CAI, and exhaust may get you about 25-30hp extra.

FWIW a cia and exhaust are not really going to get you anything in the everyday useable power band except sounds (for the money)

i am under the impression a new downpipe is a good investment as the stocker is very restrictive.... I think thats when everyone gets an exhaust usually.

So, intercooler, DP, exhaust... then you could probably go round 2 with the tune

The suspension stuff is always a good idea, depending on the age of yours, and what you do with the car.
