...and had the gauge pack installed (love 'em) and asked about performance mods and warranty. He basically told me CAI, exhaust, short throw shifter and short headers were about it. Anything that required a tune was a no no so no long headers.

I'm going to take it one step at a time so I'm phishing for priority suggestions here. CAI, muffler delete w/ resonated x-pipe, Hurst short throw or short headers first? Also, are short headers worth the trouble? Any performance mod that's legal I'm missing?

Thanks ya'll.

Short headers may not be worth the trouble and cost for such little gain. Maybe I'm wrong and some one can post a dyno chart with stock manifolds and then a run with shorties?

Careful on the CAI also, do your home work, there are some intakes that require a tune in order to keep from running too lean.
