If you're not looking to track the car, but want more power, and you are considering FI, go with a positive displacement supercharger. Right now, the only kid on the block for this type of system is Innovate, but this car is too popular for others not to follow. The power characteristics of a P.D. blower make for a really fun street car (ie big torque boost in the RPM range where most of us drive in daily use).

So you have your goal now, what is the budget? You say you want more "pep", the best way to do it would be E85 tune if you have it available in your area. As far as intakes and stuff, if you put on intake and exhaust you might as well get a tune for it to effectively utilize them.

From what you are saying I think getting something like Eibach prokit, axle back exhaust, and a set of 18x8 wheels would probably have you happy and not set you back an arm and a leg.
So for a turbo or supercharger I'd have to add a clutch to the car?

There is one E85 station in my state and it's not too far from me, but that's just an inconvenience ya know. I don't really see myself doing that.

As far as exhaust, I would be getting the Nameless axle back and high flow cat package.

He has an auto, a clutch would do nothing but be a paper weight for him.

He'll want a trans cooler. They are key to the longevity of automatic transmissions.

So here's where I'm at right now...

Tires/Wheels-Pretty sure I'm going with either those Forgestar F14s or the 2Crave Mach4 wheels

Suspension-Still undecided on springs or coils, but definitely want a bit of a drop

Exhaust-Nameless or Borla

Headers-Borla

Tune-Wondering if I should go with the FA20Club.com tune with the AFE intake theyre doing a groupbuy on right now for $1050...not sure if thats the one I should get

Intake-Would depend on if I get the tune above or not, but still looking for more opinions on the best option here.

Trying to decide if I want to debadge it or not, don't think I'll do the front but maybe the back

Getting detailed and opti-coated within the next week
