1. Lid
2. Pulley
3. 3 inch exhaust
4. Headers and H or X pipe

There you have it. Forget the rest for now. H/X pipe only pertains to true duals. If you get the duals, forget the Flowmaster.

This is what i would do and the order.

1. Lid
2. Cutout or Hooker or Magnaflow Catback
3. LT Headers (Hooker)
4. ASP Pulley

That would be a very good start.

listen to what they said...

oh and "chips" per say have been useless on 4th gen cars...but for some reason everyone still thinks it's a mod...IT'S NOT! stock tuning is fine for bolt ons...

Off topic for a sec. How well does your TSP lid fit? Mine does not seal on three sides.

Strange: I've heard nothing but good things about TSP Lids, are u sure you have it sitting right? If its really not sealing, then I would give them a call.

Does a pulley make THAT much of a diff? Has anyone had prob with the acc and other things turning slower?

I'm sure it's on there right. The pulley does make a difference but it does turn acc. slower. So that means your already slow window will become slower!

I would get them in this order:

1). Lid.

2). Dynomouth, loudmouth, hooker or GmmG catback. (I would not get flowcrapper. You won't gain any HP and they flow worse then any of the others).

3). ASP underdrive pulley.

4). LT headers with 02 sensors or HF cats.

5). Baur throttle body

6). Predator or LS1-edit. Hpp3 is a waste of $$$ IMO.

That is a nice list for bolt-on fun. Don't forget the new shifter (B & M ripper shifter ot 5.0 shifter) and skip shift eliminator. I would get those two before anything else if you don't have them all ready.
