Need some advice on what to do.
Ok heres what i have done to my car so far(performance wise)
Pacesetter exhaust
Stage 3 CAI
Taylor Sparkplug wires(8mm)
now i deff. want headers, but that will come a little later.
This is what i plan on getting............
RSM 62mm HF Throttle Body (from www.pfyc.com)
RSM lightweight ALT pulley(pfyc)
RSM lightweight Crankshaft pulley(pfyc)
DHP chip(pfyc)
Thermostat(pfyc)
Headers(S&S)
Now my question is, are these good mods that i plan on doing? I just want peoples opinion on them. I really want to get the Throttle Body next. If anyone wants to add something else i should do, THAT ISNT TOO EXPENSIVE, feel free.
Thanks

TB is not worth it at this point for you. Save your $400 for better mods. Look at my mod list, i am running port and polished heads and intakes and only a polished TB that i got done with the other port work by Jeremy, the owner of DPP. I discussed a 62mm TB with him and found out that you will barely max the flow on a polished stock tb if you add a cam. He just recently upgraded from his poished 56mm which is stock to the 62mm, and he is running like 10lbs of boost. I think that the 62mm is too big and will move the hp too far up the power band to be usefull. Also the alt pulley is overpriced for what you will gain. The crank pulley is worth it but i would recomend the underdriven one from http://www.fastfwdperformance.com since the rsm one is only lightened the ffp one is lightened and underdriven meaning it will free up more hp by spinning your accessories slower. Look at the 88-05 2.8,3.1,3100/3400, that is the one you will need, it is second from the bottom. Btw you can run that with a system, i have 2 500 rms alpine amps with mine and am fine. The DHP pcm is probably the best bang for the buck mod for us, get that one for sure. If i were you i would do the UD pulley from ffp, the dhp from pfyc along with the tstat. Then save the rest of the cash for the headers. Good luck with all of it, i hope i helped.

Yea you did help, thanks a lot.
I will do what you said, i do have a little extra money right now, i only have $180, but i was thinking about getting this http://www.pfyc.com/pc/GA4003/ALSUSP...er+Braces.html
My question is, is it worth it?? and will i notice a difference. I will get the back one another time, but im thinking about getting the front one for now.

i have the 62mm throttle body, it has done great for me, but you have to port the upper manifold to match it, i don't have a cam, ported heads, or boost. but i got an excellent deal on mine, so i couldnt pass it up.

billy, you will notice the strut bars, the front more so than the back. Yeah jabartram after i posted i thought of telling him it would help if he port matched the manifolds but he was talking about the 62mm by itself so ya. Imo the large amount of $$ for the 62mm from rsm on pfyc could be used better.
