Yeah, both, but how to prioritize, what first. Like most of us, I want to do it all! ...........Someday.

If you think the car handles great, then add more power. Then you might need to revisit the handling again.

Auto or 6 speed manual?

What do you plan on doing the most of, and when? Drag racing or autocross?

Budget might also be the deciding factor of what you do first; what kind of budget do you have to work with?

Oh, yeah, tune! That too. Chase seems to be leaning toward water bottle relocation, & scoop added to my CAI Inc intake & the Black Ice-Olator............. or a variety of suspension mods. As for what I do with her. Drive her mostly for fun but sometimes to work, shows, around town, etc, sometimes drag & autocross but just club events, Camaro/LS type events not serious competetion.

Well I'd say rear cradle bushing upgrade and sway bars; that'll give you the biggest bang for the buck at the moment. You'll appreciate right away the improvement in the way the car handles and goes around corners. It'll make a little bit of difference in drag racing and a lot of difference in autocross.

The scoop added to your CAI is only going to be useful at higher rpms like in drag racing so that's something I'd do later. The suspension upgrades will be noticed the moment you step on the gas and anytime you turn a corner.

Call Apex Chase and he'll be able to get you the right stuff.
