Got my srt exhaust, injen intake, ecutek stg 2. What else should I get?

I need more power, there's something about breaking the rear at high speeds, this car is so perfect!, so lad I chose it over a cobra. Stock was fun, but with these mods, I feel like a feather! I was thinking about stripping the insides. Or can somebody tell me what I should do to my suspension so it won't break on me some day.

You are on the safe side with those mods, you'll be fine.

Either go FI, or open up the motor and upgrade internals to get a high revving N/A setup.

I already went FI. You have to decide where you are going to splurge your hard earned money.

You seem like you have a great start on a build.

My only warning is that Injen intake come summer. Many people have had bogging issues with that intake. From my personal experience I had a K&N short ram that was the exact same design the Injen is on my last car. That thing would bog like crazy in the heat, it was the worst mod I ever did. I paid a little over 300 I think for it, the silly thing made stop and go driving AWFUL. It's something to think about before buying something else. Just my 2 cents...Good luck

I think the real question you need to ask yourself is what are your end goals and how much are you ultimately going to allow yourself to spend. You could go and spend a fortune on NA parts and then waste it all by changing your mind and go FI. If you want big power, just throw in the towel and go boost. NA is going to be pricey and hard work.

I have,

H&R Super sport lowering springs
Eibach 19mm rear + 25mm front sway bars
Whiteline front + rear Adjustable end links
Eibach front camber bolts
Whiteline rear camber bushings
Tanabe rear strut bar (more of a chasis brace)
Custom alignment

Car feels way more at home now with minimal to no body roll. Sits low but not stupid low. Spring rates also feel perfect.

^ Do mods like this plus some better brake pads.

Then think of FI.

*edit* also think of some non stock tires. (IDK if you have any of this) But whats the point of all that power if you can't hook up or handle.
