    ok, so if i am getting this correct

    Intake, great + hp mod and easy/cheap
    Programmer, needed and good hp
    pulleys, easy cheap good hp
    Axle back = sound only ( mostly)
    mid pipe, good but not huge gains
    Headers, only worth doing long tubes


    throttle body??
    high output coil packs??? ( more for nitrous and FI cars?)
    cat back exhuast > axle back ?? ( i know the factory pipes are not that bad
    Drive shaft???? = good but expensive ??? ( best price i have seen is 500)

    Delete plates ???? please more info ? looks like a second throttle body kinda of

    throttle body = junk. dont waste your time. guys have over 800 hp with stock one. most people also have trouble with them and end up junking them.

    coil packs = more for forced induction, correct. have not seen any N/A sheets that showed any gains.

    cat back = waste of money

    driveshaft = good gains. spydershaft is inexpensive and reliable.
  3. fobra559 At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.

    Coil packs are only needed if you are having spark blowout issues, which can happen at higher boost levels. The only time I think that might happen NA is if you're running really high compression (12/1+) with way advanced timing (race fuel).
