I don't know what to buy. Debating on a power pak from leathel performance consisting of throttle body and flash tuner. Or x pipe and mufflers. I want the car to sound different but would also like a bit more power. What route would you guys go?

+100000000000 for Van at Revan Racing. Well pieced together kits, all dyno proven, for great prices. I just ordered a 13-6 kit from him and messaged back and forth with him on Facebook for a hour. Was very helpful and answered all of my stupid questions.

I have had great experiences with Van from Revan racing and Justin from VMP, I love Justins tunes. Either way you can't wrong. Best mods are pulley, T/B and tune, the stock intake actually flows pretty good

I guess I'm in the minority here. I chose rear end stability first. Next will be tires then power adders. If you don't have an oil seperator...I'd definitely start there.

I did suspension, then aesthetics, then wheel/ tires, and now power.... Wondering if I should have done clutch *did do fluid for trans and brakes, as well as stainless clutch and brake lines though*

I think that is a sensible approach. Why people add power first thing to an already overpowered rearend confuses me. I mean shouldn't you want as much control of the power and torque as possible? If not, then I guess the ditch or a pole is calling...

$1200 is just the start!! After you start modding,,it's a sickness with no known cure! Revan Racing has treatment packages, but no real cure. You get your fix from Van, and you're good for awhile. Then it starts creeping in on you again,,nervous twitch, glazed eyes, cold chills, unexplained internal excitement. You make the call again to Van,,you're good,,,,,,,,for awhile!!!!
