Planning on Supercharging Next Xmas, should I do anything in the meantime?

So I'm a new FRS owner, just cracked 500 miles and like everyone else looking to start the Mods

I figured I'd throw my entire Xmas bonus this year into my Car Payments so it'll drop substantially per month

Then next Xmas bonus buy a Supercharger kit

My question is are there any minor upgrades I can do in the meantime that wouldnt need to be removed once I get the Supercharger Kit

Can I get headers? Or an intake? Any advice is greatly appreciated

depending on how much power you plan on making, you may need a clutch. won't need it when stock, but with boost you probably will

if you break 350 whp, you will definitely need a clutch, but not yet. iirc, the stock clutch is rated for 220-225 lb/ft

No thx, sold an 04' Evo I bought used for my FRS

Previous owner didnt take very good care of it, repairs were too annoying

I think only ppl that know about cars challenge Evos otherwise majority just think its a regular Lancer

I remember a dumb bird brain chick I met at a club one time giving her a ride home she was like "why are you driving this Granny car, my mom has a lancer just like this"

The FRS just looks like its a monster to anyone, even my Grandmother recently told me to not get into any accidents in my "rocket"
