I agree there, Short shifter is a great upgrade for the money, makes your car feel totally different. Just be careful and dont slam into gears and ruin your snycro's.

After that or before, i would go with a header. Now i only say this if you 100% sure you not going turbo. Since you will have to you a turbo header, but if you thinking about using a Supercharger, you can keep your header and just your Intake manifold is swapped out. Personally im going to go with a turbo for next upgrade. You can also try the light wieght pullys. Aem makes em for like 120$. It replaces the stock pullies for your Air condition and your Power steering. Alot of people say they notice a difference, some dont. I have them and they maybe give you a little noticable difference, but nothing crazy. Its a good upgrade since you will propaly never lose your power or air condition. I know i will keep em forever.

Another upgrade would be a high flow cat. Again this is something people say they like people say they dont. Personally i wouldnt get it just cause our cars are OBD2 and there is a sensor in our cats. Once the ECU detects that the air coming out isnt filtered threw the cat it will throw a CEL light at you. Then it will retard timing etc etc thinking there is something wrong with your car. You can also buy a fake sensor they will trick your ECU into thinking everything is OK. Also high flow cats are great when you got a SC/turbo. Where as your pushing ALOT more air threw you car and you benifit alittle from removing your stock cat.

Cheapest HP i can think of which is free. Diconnect your Power steering and air condition. That will will you little more umpf! Again its nothing major, but if you going for a high dyno mark, it will work for a litte.


AS for the giant H .....i would pass on that....thats like putting NoS stickers on your car. I want giant Chinese letters spelling out RICE! =)
