    From what I understand the pony package is upgrades in appearance only... with exception of traction control...

    It also includes the sway bar, and the 18 inch wheels and tires.

    With an extra thousand sitting in my pocket, I'd probably go with a CAI/Xcal tune plus a free flowing single axle-back exhaust, like the Ford Racing (Borla) or Magnaflow. That would probably put you right around $1000.

    I haven't done a tune or intake yet... I've yet to see a CAI that I really dig.

    I'm not usually someone who corrects someone else, but it's spelled DOLLARS. The spelling in this post brings down the intellect of us all. but yea I would go w/ SCT

    That looks like a MAC intake which is usually 180 alone, so this looks like a good deal.

    Pony package comes with 17x8" wheels (not 18"), plus the rear sway bar and larger front. Nothing from a HP standpoint.

    If you read all these threads, it seems like the best HP mods (bang for buck) proceeds as follows...

    1) Nitrous (100+ HP for around $700)
    2) SCT Xcal2 (more HP, no throttle lag, better auto shifts, etc) - $400
    3) CAI - $200-$300
    4) Cat-back dual exhaust w/ X-pipe & high flow mufflers - $600-$800 installed

    You may be able to get #2,3,4 for a little over 1G, probably good for 30+ N/A HP.

    what size nitrous bottle? Anywhere from $30 to $150 depending on what size bottle ya got.

    Nitrous i have found for $540.
    Tuner for $350-$380
    Gt axle back $50 with shipping?
    that keeps ya around $950, that way you can go to a dyno for half an hour to check your A/F ratio to make sure its safe after the ZEX install.
