Hey man, congrats on the new ride! Here's my humble opinion on some of your questions.

- CAI's are a plenty. If you do a search on a comparison by Janetty Racing they've got alot of really good info on real live testing side by side. But basically the best performing ones seem to be Cold Air Inductions, and ADM's. They look pretty similar (and good too). Aside from these two there's the Haltech and a few others, and they're all pretty similar in performance. I just plan to make one myself, but I'm a sucker for punishment haha.

- Definitely go long tubes if you're going headers. any stainless with 1-7/8" primarys seem to be where guys are getting the best bang for the buck. Depending on what you've got for a cat-back I'd go with 3" collectors. Some popular ones are ARH and Kooks (I plan to do the Kooks this winter.) If you're planning a blower in the future you may want to go 2" primaries, but that's more if you REALLY want to push some big numbers.

- I just put the Barton Industries Short Throw in my car with their pistol grip handle and I love it. Lots of adjustment to fit what you like and very well crafted (I have machining experience and I was impressed with the work on this kit). Plus their customer service was amazing. I don't have alot planned for handling yet, but if you search Pfadt or Pedders on here they've been doing some great work on that front from what I hear.

- Tuning is a bit of a tricky subject, since everyones situation (i.e. altitude, general weather) is different I'm not a big proponent of out of the box hand helds. Yes they'll be better than stock usually, but I really believe a custom tune is worth every penny. If you have a nearby dyno shop I'd highly recommend getting a dyno tune. (you'll probably need one after you put the long tube headers on anyway to clear a CEL) the best of both worlds though is mabye a mail order from a speed shop. Janetty comes to mind again. I believe he's got a tuner that you can buy and he will work with you sending tunes via email files etc. So you send him your list of upgrades, and he'll send you something that gets close. Then you datalog and send him the data, he sends you a tweaked version etc etc. There are other companies that do this, Janetty just popped in my head first.


then of course there's, blowers.... meth/nitro.... LSX... haha

Happy modding!
