good idea
Thats a good idea! Anyone have any other suggestions like as far as what brands of items to get? I really like the HKS carbon-ti and the TXS downpipe and adaptor pipe! Anyone have any opinions on these? Also what kind of #'s can you expect to see from the UTEC with just a TBE, thanx!!!

do you have any mods yet? Info like that would help. But if you are looking for power and have no mods the best thing would be UP/DP, exhaust, maybe a boost controller as long as you aren't a total retard and try to put it to like 20psi. But that is just my opinion.

My recommendations:
Vishnu Signature Series TB ~$1600
Cobb Stage 2 ECU reflash ~$400
APS tapered flex-joint uppipe ~$350
Kartboy SS w/bushings ~$125
You could save alot of money with the TXS TB and a cheaper UP, but I think the ones I listed are the best and the ones I'd buy if I had the money. I personally don't want to be bothered with tuning my own car with the UTEC. You will get excellent performance and reliability with the Cobb reflash while saving a few hundred dollars.

1) Kartboy SS w/bushings
2) Wheels and Tires or at lest better Tires ( lots of power + RE-92's = DUMB!
3) Stoptech brake kit
4) Learn the car, maybe go to a "on track" driving class/school
Then start some power mods.
