headers they were the only mod so far to give me a sotp feel. After all bolt on's i took off my cai and i noticed a loss in power but i never noticed one when i first put it on.

I has to be the cam set up. I would have said cat back but that isn't the best, it is just the first mod.

I just had a cutout welded on yesterday and while its loud and sounds good, it feels like there is a loss of torque.

I would have to say there is a tie between the CAI and the cat-back. They won't give you the most performance for the money, but will help indeed. You should do those first because that gets your car ready for headers and a cam, which im sure will be later on.

Since the question was "which would be your FIRST choice' i took first to mean first mod, which I would say CAI. you can make it yourself and its made decent dyno gains, cant beat it.

Hmmm. That doesnt make sense. i seemed to notice a GAIN in torque when i put mine on. Maybe it has somehting to do with where you put it. I put mine right after the cat. HMMM

A girl in your passenger seat.

Or better yet, under "your" hood.

Tough call... because each component has a factor in the equation. The heads depend on the intake and exhaust flow. The cam depends on intake and exhaust. A cut out depends on intake as it improves the exhaust side of the equation. They all work together. If I had to choose, and price not being a factor, I'd go with the heads... everything else will amplify the power output... depends on how deep your pockets are.

Anybody that knows anything about these cars knows that you will see the greastest HP gain with racing stripes. I'm apalled it's not on the poll, it's so obvious. Why do you think they call them racing stripes? (Someone's got to be a wise-***.)
